Re: Coaching Change?
I feel relieved yet slightly nauseated - good organizations generally don't do this kind of thing mid-year.

Re: Coaching Change?
This is good news. As much as I thought he needed to go, I wasn't going to be upset with keeping Cameron through the end of the year. I'm not big on firing a coach mid-season. But I'm also far from upset they let him go. Einstein famously said the definition of crazy was doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Cameron was even worse than that. He'd do things differently sometimes, get a better result, and then go back to what hasn't worked in years.
That he was fired during the year suggests to me that Cameron wasn't doing what Harbaugh wanted, and the frustration over that finally became too much for Harbaugh to take. Something must of have happened yesterday, probably during the second half or OT, that was the final straw.
I doubt Bisciotti made the call. That doesn't seem to be his or Newsome's style, to me. Both of them seem to operate under the philosophy of hiring people you can trust to do a job, then trusting them to do it, and while it hasn't always been pretty for Harbaugh has vindicated that trust with the best winning percentage in the NFL over his tenure as HC. The "only Super Bowls count" mentality among some fans is just stupid: that's like judging Phil Ivey as not being a great poker player because he hasn't won the WSOP Main Event. I don't care how good you are: winning in the WSOP Main Event or winning the Super Bowl requires a high degree of luck, even if that luck is not running into something strange that hurts you.

Re: Coaching Change?
Remember in 2006 when Brian Billick fired the OC? Worked out pretty well for us, went from 4-2 at the time to 13-3. You need to make sure that coaches know that they will be held accountable for their actions. If you let them rest of their prior accomplishments, they won't ever have an incentive to pull great seasons out in the future.
If anybody can defend CC's playcalling over the past few years, I'm all ears.
