Singletary fired !

[Brandon494]

While I don't think hes that good of a coach its hard to win in this league without a QB.

[Kiwon]

I never thought that Singletary was a good hire. His fire, his intensity led him to a stellar career and the HOF. However, while he may know what motivates him I think it was difficult to transfer that to 53 other personalities, get them to emotionally buy in and care about their own personal performances as he did as a player. Raw emotion can take you only so far.

Michael Jordan was a great basketball player, but he has been a bust as player-coach and general manager-owner. He has been unable to transfer whatever characteristics that make up his greatness as a competitor to his young players.

Maybe the separation between HOFer and regular player is too wide to gulf as HC or team president for guys like Singletary and Jordan.

Some guys simply know how to play the game, it just clicks mentally for them. They can't explain it or transfer that knowledge to other players because of that. Those are the guys that can't coach well. They simply expect everyone else to see what they see.

There's HOF'ers out there than can coach and others that can't. It's all in the mental makeup of the coach on how to explain things and help those you are coaching figure out what you are saying.

oh well.......who really cares........but now on to the important questions

WHO is the Niners ST Coach ?
WHO is the Niners OL Coach ?

Credentials ?

The best coaches I've known personally are tougher at practice than they are in games.

During a game, while on the field or court, the players have work to do. It's sort of pointless to harass them while they are working.

If they didn't learn what they were supposed to learn during practice the responsibility falls back on the coach. Being loud on the sideline is a poor substitute for teaching and planning properly during the week.
The only coach excused from this is Vince Lombardi.

Vince Lombardi's players said he was pretty much worthless during games. He yelled unhelpful stuff and blustered and fussed and worried on the sidelines. It was the way he prepared his team week to week and game to game that made him such a genius.

Worthless during games? Holy cow, what if they'd had challenge flags? Would that have messed him up?

The thing is, though, to a man Lombardi knew what every man on that team needed. They called him a hardass, but he understood every personality in that locker room and gave every one of them what they needed.

PleasepleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE Let Gruden get this job...

[Bretsky]

Chuckie is a solid coach; why would you want him in the NFC ?

I hope he gets the Browns job; I'd welcome him in Green Bay

There are good asst coaches on losing teams..........and remember........who we're looking at upgrading from

[MJZiggy]

Chuckie rode what Dungy set up. The team spiraled downward after that SB while Dungy took the Colts to the big game. And honestly, I don't really care where Chuckie ends up as long as he gets the hell off of MNF and I don't have to listen to him. I don't think he's as good as you give him credit for, but then again I'm biased because I never thought the Glazers should have fired Tony.

Agree. I'm not that impressed with Chuckie. Thought he rode the coattails of what Dungy created.

[Bretsky]

Dungy couldn't get it done in TB
Gruden did

[MJZiggy]

Gruden did

I respectfully disagree. Dungy set them up to win. Gruden rode the wave and when it came time to take care of business on his own, the team got worse year after year until Gruden got fired. As further evidence, when Dungy left, he started again with the Colts and got them a trophy as well. He'd still be there if he hadn't retired.
