I'm not sure we'll ever really know but these are some of the reasons that have been given by Beane/front office:

- He does not communicate well with the players
- He's somewhat of an a-hole to injured players and bench players
- His association with the front office and player developent "wasn't up to par"

Speculation could also include that someone had to take the fall for Beane's frustration of not making it to the World Series, and that Beane might be ready to promote his best buddy, bench coach Bob Geren.
