Mike Nolan Built this Team

he just wasnt good at getting his vision through to the players and getting them to execute them.

He set up the defense to be as successful as it is now. The alex smith thing did him in tho.

He brought in:

justin smith
nate clements
Michael Lewis
Joe Staley
PATRICK WILLIS
Franklin
Goldson
Gore
Morgan
Vernon
etc...

Singletary knows how to get nolans vision across and thats the most important thing in a HC. Leave the x's and o's to coordinators. See denver....

and?

He also brought us Jennings.

You should see the team I built on Madden!

AND.........................TBC!

True enough. but he couldn't coach.......

........nuff said!

Yet he could not COACH this team.

We aren't exactly the most talented team in the league. The coaching is what has made us as good as we are.

By the way, Scot McCloughan had just as much input in building this team as Mike Nolan did.

Patrick Willis's greatness alone>>> then JTO's suckage...nuff said

We'll send him a super bowl ring in two years

He could bring in good players, but he could not motivate, strategize, and win like Singletary can.

Willis would of been great anywhere he played, leaving JTO in for multiple games automatically gets you a F in my book.

O'Sullivan was more Martz than Nolan.


Nolan's problem wasnt getting talent (Gore, Davis, Lawson, Willis, and yes even Smith) it was developing talent especially in guys like Smith and Davis. Davis seems to be flourishing now but Alex is probably permanently damaged goods (at least in SF).

And I agree that ultimately I think Alex-gate was the beginning of the end. People really saw the "real" Mike Nolan after that. He was exposed as the cunning little prick that he is.
