The reality is, don't know if he will blossom, and if he does, how long will it take? We just can't wait around for that. We've been waiting too damn long.
I couldn't disagree more with that statement.
Primarily for one simple fact: Singletay is stupid. And I don't mean that in a schoolyard taunting sense either. I mean that literally. His every action, spoken word, etc. screams out the fact.
I have read where posters are claiming that EVERYONE was excited by his hiring. NOT TRUE. There were many of us who spoke out against his hiring but were overwhelmingly supressed. The results were/are predictable . . . always have been.
His successes have been ephemeral and deceptive. But only to those who lack any insight at all. That is also the reason why I agree with the poster who said: he will be back. The team will eke out a few wins and ownership will lose grasp of the underlying truth; the York's never had the insight to see it in the first place.
So NO, we're not giving up on him too fast. Because I also agree with the posters who see him as an extension of the Nolan regime. That's obvious. Except a dumber version. Nolan, at least was able to land top level high profile coaching/player talent. Singletary cannot. Too stupid. Too lost. At this time the 49ers are bad move for someone with other options. This needs to change, but probably won't.
