Supposedly he was stubborn about making offensive changes and him and Harbaugh bucked heads.

The ravens heard he was leaving for LSU so they fired him.

He and Flacco had a falling out and in the NFL qb's are more powerful than coordinators. Simple as that.

He implemented a shity offense and they lost to the redskins and he was fired. A two QB system that didn't work. This hire is all about miles and les about Cameron. Cameron is his friend and Miles will be able to maintain total control over the offense. Everybody bitched about the complicated offenses the wizard put together when he was the OC and he was fired. But remember this we won a national championship with the wizard. The real problem after the 2007 season was our QB's were to stupid to learn the wizards offense and couldn't execute the game plan. Result: miles got the heat and the wizard was fired. End result: we ended up with coaching friends of miles and an 8th grad offense controlled by Miles. So what have we learned through out the arduous process. Don't hire your friends as assistant coaches and recruit OB's with some brains.

Did anyone not notice the credit Harbaugh has given Cameron after winning the SB?

I have no source but really think it was a calculated move by Harbaugh to send a wake up call throughout his entire team. He was rolling the dice at a point in the season when winning teams never fire coordinators. He knew he had an experienced veteran coach on staff in Caldwell that could step into that OC position. And it worked. Gutsy move.

The answer im hearing is he and Flacco were having issues. QB always wins that one everytime. So he is either a real stand up guy or made a poor decision, getting on the QB nerves. Also John Harbaugh wanted to run the ball more, was the final straw, Im hearing. Im not really sure about the whole thing.
With that being said, I really dont care why he got fired Im just glad he's a Tiger.
he workd for John Harbaugh for 5 yrs and harbaugh says firing him was the hardest decision hes ever made as a HC. He also made sure that Cam got a SB ring, which I think is very classy and says something about the respect harbaugh has for Cam.
If he worked for Harbaugh for 5 yrs as a OC that
says alot about this guy.
LSU needed a NFL fresh look as an OC, this is a very fortunate hire for all involved. LSU nation sd be ecstatic this is a game changer move. Kudos to CLM and the AD for getting this guy signed sealed and delivered. This was the biggest recruit of 2013.

Boston sports was saying it was an upper management decision more than a Harbaugh one

Because his offensive playcalling was just plain awful. Getting rid of him was the best thing Baltimore did for themselves.
