How can you blame John Harbaugh for his kicker missing a very easy FG? The kicker choked, not the coach.
Jim should have replaced his punt returner so he deserves a lot of criticism. They were also like 1-11 on 3rd downs so they were lucky they were even in that game.
He should have attempted the long FG with close to 4 minutes to play. It was at the far edges of his kickers range, but still within it on a day where conditions were good. If he missed, they were in no worse position than being stuffed on 4th down.
He should have looked to take the easy first down with a running play from your Pro Bowl RB rather than a passing play with your questionable QB just before the missed FG. Burn the last timeout after the play and still have enough time to throw a couple in the end zone before kicking.
John Harbaugh had several bad moments in the last 4 minutes that helped to lose the game.
