They have been drafting quality players for years, but Nolan was a completely different coach than Singletary in all the wrong ways. Mike is not only more hands on with the players, but also knows how to push their buttons the right way.
They've lacked offensive coordinator stability. Jimmy Raye isn't a great coordinator, but not having to learn a new system yet again does a lot for a struggling QB like Alex Smith.
I think they've gone from since Smith was a rookie:
2005- Mike McCarthy
2006- Norv Turner
2007- Jim Hostler
2008- Mike Martz
2009-2010 - Jimmy Raye
Any QB would struggle with that much changing at coach. Now picture that with a QB trying to develop into a good starter.
