Singletary, not a NFL coach

[Shonner]

Mainly because he's a D coordinator at best. He knows nothing about efficient, effective offense.

And that's only if he changes his style. He treats players like 2 year olds. There's a reason why the story about him showing his ass at half time got out - the players think he's funny and don't take him as seriously as they should. Ever hear him talk to the players? Like they are school children. I am not in the locker room, but it appears as though he's not on the same page with the players. Looks like he may have lost the team.

Front office of SF needs to analyze this and make a move. Get him out.

[iifold]

If I had the under my sniper buddy would be in route as we speak..

[Jerm3462]

yea, 3 points vs the Chiefs is downright dreadful.

[jjgold]

He will be fired at end of year

He is so fukkin dumb it is unreal

[Bluehorseshoe]

And Del Rio will be the first one fired. That team is horrible on both sides of the ball this year.

[Cougar Bait]

I think he's the 49ers coach.

[big joe 1212]

Jim Fassel will take over the 49ers

[Cougar Bait]

Jim Fassel will take over the gay bar downtown

There, I fixed that for you

[jjgold]

They need a new coach

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Alex Smith, not a NFL quarterback.

Mainly because he's a backup QB at best. He knows nothing about efficient, effective offense.

And that's only if he changes his style. He plays like a 2 year old. There's a reason why this kid can't play - the players think he's funny and don't take him as seriously as they should. I am not in the locker room, but it appears as though he's not on the same page with the other players on the team. Looks like he may have lost the team.

Front office of SF needs to analyze this and make a move. Get him out.

I thought this was a stupid thread when I read the title, and the fact t seems some posters agree with the OP make me question the overall intelligence of the forum.

Singletary is one of the BEST coaches in the NFL, end of story.

No coach in the league gets more out of limited talent then he does, and the numbers back it up. Just look a the difference in their play before and after he was hired last year.

[jpete1966]

yea, 3 points vs the Chiefs is downright dreadful.

Unfortunately for me and a few others he got 10 points.

you must be drunk to make this statement..... he is in the bottem three.... end of story

[SBR_John]

I kind of agree with LT, well not the part that Mike is one of the best coaches, but the part where he gets a lot out of limited talent.

He doesnt have good game presence obviously and thats a bit tough to accept at the NFL level. He acts like a high school coach calling timeouts on routine 3rd and 10's. I know its a bit painfull but I'd give him this year and next. He is a HOF'er, an intense hard worker and I think he will improve. He hasnt been coaching for 25 years like most NFL head coaches.

[MB]

C'mon now. You're basically trying to say Singletary is Norv Turner on Defense. Get a QB and give them time to gel. He's been the coach for about 6 minutes

[firedawg]

he is intense and that is a good thing.... a top coach is a different story

[Congruency]

i know its only been 3 games but this was a team favoured to win the NFCW

they are stacked with talent but get crushed by shitty teams like the chiefs (yes i know theyre 3-0 but they still suck)

[C-Gold]

He's the 2nd to worst coach in the entire league. The Bucs have the worst coach...

Singeltary knows how to yell at people and call them out, he knows ZILCH about offense, and knows little to nothing about how to run a team. He's ROOOONEY Rule.

Blame his losses on his talent
just like you blame all the shitty mobile quartebacks failures on their receivers and O-lines.

[Stealinhome]

He is a joke

[LT Profits]

I just don't get the hate.

Again, look at the TURNAROUND in the team since he took over. His players always five him 110% every game, which is all a coach can ask for. They are simply not as talented as some guys think, although they are still the best team in a very limited NFC West (which is not saying much). They should probably still win their division, so maybe then maybe you guys will wise up a bit.

And finally, as for their performance against KC, it really wasn't THAT surprising considering they were coming off of a very emotional Monday Night game vs. the Super Bowl champs, and now had to play a relatively meaningless non-conference game (the least important games in terms of tiebreakers).

The Niners will be fine going forward, don't be surprised if they go something like 9-4 the rest of the way.

[smitch124]

Let me say as a 49er fan I was really rooting for Singletary to do well. I have been patient as well. This was the year, though, where I wanted to see some improvement. What I see is all the same stuff: bad blocking schemes, horrible play calling that lacks any imagination or innovation, ridiculous mental error type of penalties, the worst clock management in the league and a complete deer in headlights look on the road in EVERY game. I've seen every game of his tenure and his game management has not improved one iota. They will win some games once they are out of the playoff hunt and make a terribly managed team look like they have hope, but they need to be blown up.

[treece]

this whole you have to interview a black coach thing is a joke.

[AMBlai01]

A lot out of limited talent? That team is insanely talented right now. There is no reason that the 49ers shouldn't win that division. It is probably the worst division in football and they still can't win a game.....

[Ninersnut]

I think you're looking in the wrong spot here. Singletary doesn't call any plays, offensively or defensively. Jimmy Raye needs to go. Gore is the best player on the team but it's kind of hard to fool the defenses when you never change your game plan.

The team looks at tape and see HB dive for the first two plays of every series. The game starts and what do you know? It's Frank Gore up the middle for 2 yards for two straight plays. Then it's third and 7-8+ so teams just drop in coverage blanket Crabtree and Vernon.

There is no use blaming Singletary for this. I believe they both need to go but it will only set the Niners back again. Christ they are turning into the Lions/Browns. It's gonna be another long 5-6 years.

[skilz4milz]

Ok, knew someone would take it there. So are you implying that he's a bad coach cause he's black? If so that's totally idiotic and I won't even begin to make a point to prove you wrong.

If anything, the way I see it he is a bad coach due to mostly inexperience at this point.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

I just don't get the hate.

Again, look at the TURNAROUND in the team since he took over.

he's 13-15 all time, and 0-3 this season with a team that is an annual playoff pick by the experts. And the team does seemed poorly coached, if you watch the games.

[Maxmillion]

this whole you have to interview a black coach thing is a joke.

its a joke to the owners especially when they know who they are gonna hire (example jerry jones in the case of wade phillips) and just interview a "token" black coach.

well at least singletary got his chance a lot of guys dont, this may be the last year for him especially with so many better coaches on the bench (gruden, cowher, parcells)

[Snowball]

Time to stop making excuses for this guy.
He's been an assistant since 2003 and head coach in SF his 3rd year now.

I don't think he's a good strategist, or a competent X-O man.

more of a trainer or defensive coordinator at best.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

He's way too run-oriented. This isn't the 70's; the pass sets up the run, not vice versa.

[triqy]

All the screaming and hollering gets old and gets old fast. His players probably just tune him out at this point.

[newjerseydevils]

agree here. he cant get a win and has suspect playcalling

[sonyman]

Looks like the Offensive Coordinator is gone for the 49ers.

[thebestthereis]

Singletary publicly said he wanted winners and people that wanted to win. He doesn't have that don't blame him.

[FreeFall]

I think he's fine, Alex Smith on the other hand is a whole 'nother story. He is doing the best with what he has.

[thadchr]

Totally true. Every year I forgot this lesson too: Week 3 is about where we figure out which teams are going to win and lose games based solely (or at least primarily) on poor coaching. Very frustrating. I guess though, you always take a loss as something learned. And hopefully this info leads to (much) better results next week.
