DakotaT, the reason Sherman was fired was because he and TT could not work together. Naturally, there was some weirdness between the two, because TT did replace MS as GM. Nothing was going to change that, and TT finally concluded that he and MS wouldn't be able to get on the same page, at least not in the near future. That is why MS was fired.

Regardless, that just goes to prove, IMO, how talented of a coach Sherman was. He had his flaws, like everyone else, but look at the long run and the lows Coach Chin (PFT.com) has had with the Steelers. He had the same nack for messing up in the big games, but look at him now, he is a winner.
See, I've always maintained the opposite, namely that Sherman the GM was the victim of Sherman the Coach. What I mean by this is that it's widely accepted that the best place to find talent is in the top 5 picks of the draft, which is a place Sherman never even got a sniff of drafting while GM - due to his pretty impressive W-L record as coach. I'd also add that, especially given where he picked, he had a pretty good track record with his first rounders (Walker, Barnett and even Carroll). MS' main failing as a GM was that he traded away too many late round picks. The later rounds of the draft are a huge crapshoot, so, IMO, it's better to take as many shots as you can.
