The proof that Baalke's way of building a team is working?

1.  2011.  13-3, hosting the NFC Championship game, and falling a field goal short in overtime of going to the Superbowl.
2.  2012.  Winning the NFC Championship, and falling just 5 yards short of winning a title.

And these accomplishments are after nearly a decade of sub-par seasons with no playoff appearances.  Baalke and Harbaugh make an instant impact on the franchise, and the team is playing for Superbowls year in and year out.  It may not be flashy, but it is working.
