There's a middle ground between not wanting someone on your team and flat out ripping them in the media like this. I would think that a player should expect as much respect from a coach as a coach would respect from a player, even if the player is in the wrong. The fact that Mike Singletary is a first year coach and hasn't build up that kind of respect doesn't exactly help, either.

Let's say that Glenn Dorsey went off on Herm Edwards during a press conference and said, "Herm can't motivate, he can't gameplan, he can't draft, and he doesn't do everything he can to put our team in position to win. I would rather play without a head coach than be led by Herm Edwards."

Would fans in San Francisco be applauding Dorsey? Of course not. They would be ripping him. Davis may be all of the things Singletary said he was. Edwards may be all of the things that Dorsey said in this scenario. That doesn't make it right to go out and blast someone like that in public.
