With all the hype about firing the HC

I'm not sold on the fact that if we lose these player the 49ers can't win. The league is too fluid with FA and great drafting. If you have a great personnel guy that makes great decisions and a really good coach who understands the game, a coach who's a visionary, you will win with very "average" teams. I've said this before - it's great to have the horses, but it simply doesn't guarantee success - or a win for that matter. The 49ers outplayed Atlanta and New Orleans and were blown out by less talented Seattle and Kansas City. Tell me how our being more talented (on paper) helped us win those game?

Talent means nothing if the scheme and the coaching is holding that talent back.

Good point.

This article seems to prove your point:

"It opened up just like coach drew it up on the board, so you execute and things like that happen," Chung said, per Andy Kent of FanHouse. "That's something coach saw. I mean, we just practiced everything that happened in that game -- all those blocks, and people doing their job. I give it to them. If they're not doing their job nothing happens. So we executed. Coach drew it up and it happened just like he did it."

Is it really worth it to fire MS and lose our core star players?

MS is the only reason VD changed mentality. Could possibly want out if sing is gone.
Willis gets better with MS's knowledge at LB. Could possibly want out if sing is gone and any other player who wants Sing to stay could jump ship.

All the HC 's out there wouldn't be available if they were still winning.

So, is it really worth losing players and fire a HC for Turnovers, O Line not manning up, and QB mistakes?

Patrick Willis, and Vernon Davis both signed long term deals, before the start of this season. There is no danger of losing them. They are both driven players, that above all want to win. Sing deserves credit for helping Davis focus his energy properly, but eventually, the head coach needs to lead the team to victories. Victories with the player's personal development is not enough.
