The guy is a HOF linebacker so of course he's going to get respect for his on-the-field accomplishments. Being respected for being in the HOF doesn't automatically make him a good head coach.

I would argue that he's a man of mediocre intelligence. Lots of coaches in the NFL are "highly intelligent." Doesn't automatically make them a good coach.

He may have failed at coaching this time, but I am more inclined to believe that it is the 49ers organization that is highly dysfunctional than Sing.
I think Sing was just as dysfunctional as the organization. They did after all pick a coach with no previous coaching experience without even interviewing another candidate.

Where? He's never been a head coach before. Or are you talking about his HOF career again because we already established that it means jack s**t when it comes to being an NFL head coach.

I think what we will discover when it all comes out is the battle that he had with management to make his own decissions; how they continued to meddle in coaching deicsions and his decision to do things his way resulted in animosity.
I wish they would have "meddled" more after seeing this piece of s**t product on the field. His "philosophy" worked 25 years ago. Are you telling me that if management hadn't "meddled" as you say in his decisions his outdated strategy would have worked? I find that hard to believe.

I mean, why was it necessary to fire him for the last game; other than it being personal?
Easy. Out of playoff contention and wanted to get started on their GM search.

The fact that he did not convey to Alex (with whom he had previosly went out of his way to support) that he was not starting suggest that there was something that was really straining their relationship.
This is really illogical so I don't even know how to address this illogical argument.

I'm quite happy for that "dad-gum yahoo" who spoke up. Imagine having to put up with Jimmy Raye for the entire season! Ughhh this season would've been even worse than it was already.

The one thing you've said that I actually agree with.
I think that you should really read my post over. I never said that intellegence = successful coaching. I actually maintain that you can not measure a man's intellegence simply by an organization's preformance. If that was the case then Seifert who won a championship wit the 49ers must have become real dumb when he became the Carolina's coach.
What does not make sense to you is due to your lack of understanding of what's involved in righting the ship of a dysfunctional organization. In a functional organization, Alex would not have been told by his replacement that he was not starting. Particularily when Sing went out of his way to respect Alex the first time he was benched.
Yes Sing has been a winner. He won as a player and as a coach with Baltimore. IN FACT, he has the best record of any coach who has coached under the Yorks since they showed their superior organizational accumen and fired Marriucci AFTER he had taken them to the play-offs. The only constant here is that when it comes to football, the Yorks are losers. So if you prefer to defer to the constant losers by suggesting that they should have continued to meddle; if in fact they did, then so be it.
But, my opinion is not simply mine as the previous owner who has five championships has actually shared the same.
