As a union person, I am never happy to see anyone lose their job, even someone in management.
However, moving on from Buck is the right move for the franchise.
No need to go into the past as to why this was the correct move - it is time to move forward.
I have no ideas on a replacement, though in terms of strategy, I prefer someone who wants starters to go at least 7 innings, uses the hit and run/steal/bunt more often, and stresses striking out less on offense and walking fewer on defense.
The person can be young or older, experienced or not.
