Re: So is Flacco on the hot seat now, or is it Harbaugh?
Because releasing Cam has been a issue of discussion since at least 2 seasons ago, so it wasn't rash.
And while the TEAM was successful, the offense has clearly not developed at the rate or with the consistency that some of our raw talent would indicate it should. So Cam is not as successful an OC as Harbs is a head coach.
Finally, because I don't think it was Steve's decision. I think it was John's with Steve's blessing at least and input at most.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

He's the owner so at the very least, he approved it.
But like SpamBot said above, the most successful coaches need quite a few "whacks at the pinyata (sp)" to actually go to and win a Super Bowl. The more times you get into the playoffs, the more chances you have. I'm sure Biscuit knows that.

Re: So is Flacco on the hot seat now, or is it Harbaugh?
We'll have to agree to disagree there.
I think Cam's been on the hot seat for awhile. Harbaugh knew it, personally I could see Harbaugh giving him gameballs (which Steve B is there for) to help create a perception he was doing a good job.
I've had plenty of managers in my life and they would do stupid meaningless things (like giving a gameball to Cam) to prop up a guy that wasn't pulling his weight, but they liked them and wanted to keep him on.

Re: So is Flacco on the hot seat now, or is it Harbaugh?
One peice I did not mention because of I didn't think it relevant for this thread, but leads me to it.
Biscuit and members of the coaching staff where unhappy that they had to rush the FG kicker to kick the tying FG at NE. Some people blame Cundiff rightly so, but a chinese fire drill game for a tying FG should not be a kaos play, especially when you have a timeout. Problem is Cundiff took full blame, but also did not know he had a timeout to call, the coach did. Harbs should of settled down that situation as crucial as it was to restore order. That didn't sit well. Add to that, Biscuit and others where angry that Boldin was not targeted at the end of the game more because he was covered by a small WR named Edelman. Peices I heard from the same beat guy, who can't release these inside nuggets leaked from players and so forth or he wouldnt be a beat guy.

Re: So is Flacco on the hot seat now, or is it Harbaugh?
Boldin should have been targetted all game long like he was on the final drive. He was physically overmatching Julian freaking Edelman. I was screaming about that all game long. It was incredulous that Cam or Flacco for that matter didn't seek to exploit that matchup much sooner. Why didn't Flacco just audible to pass plays to Boldin? You know that Boldin was probably screaming to have have the ball thrown to him with Edelman covering him. It was available all game long. Also, he is ablolutely right about the time out. Harbaugh just brushed off questions about why they didn't use their final time out in that situation, but was never really pressed about it because Cundiff took the blame. It seems like Bisciotti has every right to be upset.

the more Bolderraven shed light on this, the more I think Harbs may very well be on the hot seat.

Re: So is Flacco on the hot seat now, or is it Harbaugh?
I am not sure what people mean by "hot seat," but under the standard definition, Harbaugh is nowhere near one let alone on one. Might Bisciotti have put his foot down on Cameron? Sure. Might Bisciotti have expressed some concerns or worries or disappointment with some of the team efforts this year. Sure. And of course neither such thing may have happened, nobody knows. But even if they did, that does not equal "hot seat."
Hot seat means things are universally known to be headed in the wrong direction. The coach's performance has been universally known to be unacceptable. Things must change quickly and drastically for the better or else the coach will likely be fired. That is what "hot seat" means to me. And it doesn't apply here. Nor do I see it applying anytime soon barring a bottom-quintile finish in next year's season.
