Yeah, I get what you're saying, but I don't think Singletary is really going to be a genius coach or anything like that. We won't be losing a great football mind. He just wants to run and play defense. Raye has had plenty of time to prove himself in the league. I don't mind giving Singletary another year, but I want a qualified OC under him. If it was up to me, I'd just go get a Shanahan or Holmgren though, to be honest.

I don't like Raye either. Shannahan wants to be the man in charge, so I doubt he comes back to SF though I'd love to have him. Same with Holmgren. He might be more willing to be an OC but I think he wants a GM job (and he might get it in Seattle).

I've heard quite a few people mention Charlie Weis--I wouldn't be opposed to that. He stinks as a head coach, but he was OC for the Patriots from 2000 to 2004 before getting the Notre Dame gig.

I agree........

Overall the Niners should have a better record. With the exception of the offensive line, there is enough talent to make them a playoff team. It kills me to have to say again - "Wait 'till next year", but that seems to be the direction we're headed.

Normally, I'd subscribe to the Parcells line of thinking but one thing that is interesting is that we've only lost one game by more than 1 score and that's the Atlanta debacle. That leads me to say, yes, we are better than what our record is but...

I do qualify that with noting that the way our OL + playcalling is going, we deserve to be what our record says we are.

I won't believe we're better 'til we start winning some of the games we've lost...that's the only true measure. Close but no cigar gets you absolutely no respect in the NFL. We'll continue to be pretenders 'til we prove we're actually contenders.

Thanks to McClueless we still have holes in OL and pass rush and then add a coaching staff that is slow to make changes to the offense to take advantage of our personel and , and can't make timely adjustments during a game , add to that that we have been far too predictable.

If the 49ers were in any other division, would we be 4-6 or worse?

Our record shows where we stand. Our defense is in the top half of the league, while our offense is struggling. Very few teams ever have one good side of the ball, while maintaing a record over .500...
