Nolan fired, Singletary hired
 

just reported on espn

:cuss:

my fast is faster than your fast....or something

Singletary is not going to walk the sidelines in a suit.

lol....Berman: "I'm disgusted"

they're taking it personally

How many posts until someone says we should hire him?

It'll be interesting to see how Singletary does.

My general philosophy is that I don't like coaches who got there through family connections (e.g., Nolan), and I question whether being a good player makes one a good coach. Singletary seems to be a guy with some smarts, though.

I'm shocked it hasn't happened already.

That's the only reason I started a thread - figured someone would take the bait.

You have to admit, he'd be a massive improvement. Of course, that's pretty much true of anybody with a brain stem.

No wait for next week; Niners can Nolan now

FOXSports' Jay Glazer reports that the 49ers have decided not to wait for their Week 9 bye to fire Mike Nolan. Nolan is out as head coach effective immediately.
The Niners let the news leak out a week before they planned to take action, which would have made the entire week and next Sunday's game against Seattle a circus. Assistant head coach/linebackers Mike Singletary has agreed to step in. Nolan took over in '05 with the organization in shambles. He is a good football coach, but didn't get results after a promising 7-9 2006 campaign. His record ended up at 18-37 in four seasons. Nolan is certain to find work in 2009, probably as a defensive coordinator. Oct. 20 - 7:54 pm et

You gotta wonder how much of this is due to the epic setbacks that were Alex Smith and Vernon Davis. I think he's a decent coach, and if they had made better decisions there, he could still have his job.

So if we shit can Gunther.....is Nolan worth a look as the DC?

I think Davis still has a chance to be very good in the right place. He is hardly used. He does have some bad habits but those can be "unteached".

He needs to be axed to learnt a few new habits?

Those 2 were just bad picks...

Davis can't figure out how to play football for his life...hell of an athelete though. Smith has bust all over him, i still think Davis has a chance.
