Yes, but it wasn't really their fault. The Avatar disappeared for about 100 years and everyone lost hope. So the Fire Sages couldn't go around waiting for the Avatar to return and were probably scared to keep their loyalty with him/her. And Ozai was most likely intimidating, so they probably started to follow him and switched their loyalty from the Avatar to the Fire Lord.
