Jed said it in the KNBR interview: "football philosophies". It was the offense.
I think the offense had a lot to do with it. Maybe the FO wanted more of a passing offense as opposed to the power run?
In the press conference, Jed made it a point to say that Harbs focused on offense and was more hands off on defense. Also, he was a great teacher of the QBs only.
Jim didn't do jack with the defense. That is All Fangio.

-Q: Let's talk about your relationship with Harbaugh from that year at Stanford to now… Has that evolved over time or is it pretty much the same as it was from the start?
-FANGIO: It's pretty much the same. Obviously now, this is our fourth year together, not our first, and we really didn't know each other other than very casually prior to me going to Stanford. So I had to learn what Jim's about, he had to learn what I'm about.
But the one thing that's never been in question between us, is we both have the same common goal and that's to win football games.
Obviously my job is to play great defense, the best we can, and he knows that, respects that. And he does everything he can to help us do that.
He's entrusted me with it, right from Day 1, and I appreciate that. He focuses all his time on the team and on the offense and leaves the defense to myself and the rest of the defensive coaches. And it's worked out good to this point.
