Mike Singletary Fired

Bucket · 12-27-2010, 01:29 AM

Now, i'm not one to say.. "Hey, lets get this guy out of here after one year", but would you think it would be an upgrade to have him as our defensive cordinator next year?

He has the attitude of a practice and play kinda guy like Shanny. I think they would work well together though.

Good guy great player.. I think he's a good defensive Coordinator somewhere

SFREDSKIN · 12-27-2010, 01:57 AM

Will they hire Harbaugh or go after Gruden? Stay tuned.

Also has frank gore played his last game in SF?

I say they hire harbaugh and Gruden sits out 1 more year.

hard to say

I think that he's had too much of a taste to co-exist with a Shanny but who knows.. DC is definitely known for some guys that become almost as big as the HC

Singletary was completely over his head as a head coach. He went right from position coach (LB) to HC. Needs some time as a coordinator. Not sure he's as much of an X's and O's guy as he is a motivational speaker.

i think andy reid went from position coach to head coach. some guys can do it and i though mike s. was going to be a great hc. i think his old school ways kind of did him in. all that getting in the players faces and berating them doesn't work in todays nfl. also i remember reading that his practices were a mess. very unorganized and messy. john gruden will be their next head coach.

I truly understand where everyone is coming from, because there is no stability here. But Honestly Do you all think Shanahan will be here for over 3 years??? No.. With the talent this team has, we will continue to be an under .500 team for the next couple of years. And if you think Danny Boy is just gonna sit and let that happen. Whew, yall have something coming. As the stadium continues to have more and more empty seats due to the losing season. Danny Boy will make a splash move to get people back in the seats.

Yup, not saying it can't be done, but saying that he needs more time before he's ready. He needs to see if he can be a successful coordinator before trying to run the show again, reason being that when that motivational nonsense starts to fall on deaf ears, the players have to be able to trust that you can formulate a winning strategy. Competence begets confidence.

Just goes to show how short the leash is for coaches in this day and age. Not quite 3 full seasons for Singletary; 5-4 after taking over for Nolan, 8-8 in his second year, and 5-9 this year. He's been set up nicely with some good players, but clearly management in San Fran has their eye on someone else...

DIEHARD1980 · 12-27-2010, 09:35 AM

Hopefully Shanahan is next. He needs to evaluate his career.

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!! All we have heard all year is how you have to evaluate the talent we have. That is what the offseason is for and Preseason. I give him credit for shining the light on Torrain. He reminds me of Gibbs when he came back to coach the skins, the game had truly passed him.
