Kap was Harbaugh's guy, who he claimed was the best overall player in the draft that year. He's looked mediocre since the SB year under Harbaugh's development. I don't know why people don't consider that when discussing him, if that's his eye for talent then the Niners were right to draw the line in the sand with respect to not giving him more control over the roster (which he was a baby back bitch about considering he was gifted a supremely talented team by Baalke). The opposite side of the ball from Harbaugh's expertise was what carried the Niners to contention, Fangio was the unsung hero of those teams, all 4 years they were Top 5 defenses.

He will always bring an initial culture change and everyone will buy-in but in the long run he's not someone capable of sustained excellence and he'll always be hated in time. It only took the Niners (FO and players) 4 seasons filled largely with excellence to tune out.

I said from the jump I don't expect Harbaugh to coach Michigan for more than 6 or 7 years but that will be enough. Mark my words the recruiting class he is putting together this year will go down as 1 of the greatest of all time.

Yet he's had a good defense both before and now apparently after Fangio. Hmmmm....

I know where you are coming from and for some guys this is always true. Some coaches mature a bit with time when they see how their welcome wears out (Saban for example) and they learn to enjoy the success and cultivating a life in a single place instead of moving along every 3-5 years.
