One, he does not always make the best choices in assistant coaches. Yes, this happens to the best of them (*cough* Tim Beck *cough*), however, the issue with Harbrau is his unwillingness to make moves when there are issues on his coaching staff. Greg Roman had as much to do with torpedoing his SF tenure as anything else. The man was a one-trick pony as an OC, and could not adapt with Kaepernick at OC. By year three, his offense was seriously damaged, and by year four, it was hard broken. He stuck with him til the end, and it cost him that 2014 season, and ultimately his job (along with some personality issues).
