Yeah, that's about it.  Our first choice got hired by the Bears, and our second choice turned us down to stay a coordinator.  At that point, the coaching search is completely off the rails.  So finally, Khan woke up and did the right thing.  

My question for everyone who is criticizing this is, would you rather he did not fire Baalke?  I admit, he fired him a couple of weeks late, but at least he did it.

Timing matters in these situations. I hope that things can still work out, but firing Baalke yesterday is in no way equivalent to firing him a month ago and already having a new GM in place clearing out the scouting cancer and building the foundation for a winning organization with the opportunity to hire its first choice at head coach.
