This may be blasphemous for a boy from Chicago to say, but I'm not convinced Mike Singletary is prepared or smart enough to be a head coach. Not book smarts, but football smart. He's a great motivator for the right kind of player and he'll draw the media's attention away from his team, but as far as coaching decisions go? He's iffy. The guy's never been a coordinator in the league and now he's trying to meet lofty expectations with a mediocre level of talent. Even up 14 points they couldn't hold onto a lead. Credit Falcons WR Roddy White with the strip of Nate Clements that likely saved a touchdown and let Atlanta keep pace with New Orleans.

Where did Mike Singletary’s disciplined defense go?
My name... is Tony Gonzalez!
(2-3) Seattle Seahawks 41
(2-3) Jacksonville Jaguars 0
What a difference a Matt Hasselbeck makes. The Seahawks shut out the Jekyll and Hyde Jaguars and put up a forty-burger. With the Niners’ loss, the ‘Hawks can still make some noise in the NFC West.

on’t go banging on any podiums or cursing out random members of the media afterwards.

me to early, which was a surprise, since Thomas Jones has been lighting it up this year. Give Mike Singletary credit for keeping the 49ers focused. Having a coaching change in mid-season is not an easy task for a team, but Singletary is making a case for having the interim tag removed from his title!

vering! Let’s go Phillies! The parade down Broad Street is within reach!
Mike Singletary called out TE Vernon Davis on the sideline. He then sent him to the showers while the game was still going on. He later blasted him in the post-game press conference. I don’t know how good or bad Singletary will be as a head coach in the NFL…but I guess we all know who is in charge!

uard?
The San Francisco 49ers fired Mike Nolan this week and have replaced him with Mike Singletary (Assistant Head Coach). Mike Nolan is one of a few coaches who wears a suit on the sideline…he does this as a tribute to his father, Dick Nolan. The elder Nolan was an NFL player for 9 seasons, an assistant coach under Tom Landry for 6 seasons, head coach of the 49ers from 1968-1975, and head coach of the New Orleans Saints from 1978-1980. He passed away on November 11, 2007 in Texas. It was nice to see someone honor the tradition of the game and his father at the same time. I’m not a fan of seeing coaches in cut-off sweatshirts on the sideline (and yes, that was a shot at Beli-cheat)!
