That's the thing, he has nothing to sell. He already said he relies on his assistants. All Sing can provide this team is belief and it seemed as the team lost belief in the SEA game which means Sing is not a good option in the long run.
Sing is a hell of a teacher for defensive players, especially linebackers.
I also think he's a good fit for head coach so long as the right coordinators are in place. That's the problem. We definitely have the right guy coordinating the D, but the wrong guy on the offensive side.
You know what the bold tells me? We have a position coach as a head coach. Position coaches don't know how the entire offense or defense works. Position coaches don't even need to worry about down and distance and clock management as do Coordinators. We got outcoached a lot last year. Expect it to happen a few more times this year.
So because he's a good teacher he doesn't know how an offense or defense works? This is the kind of thinking that makes this place such a joke. Such leaps in logic is the reason there are hundreds of new retarded threads every day.
How does that make any sense? Because someone is good at something that automatically means they are not good at something else? Right, that makes a lot of sense.
It makes even less sense when you are talking about a Hall Of Fame middle linebacker that had to know the entire defense and call the defensive plays based on what the opposition's offense was showing. And he had to do all that in a span of about 10 -1 5 seconds 50+ times a game. You couldn't make any less sense. Ya, that guy doesn't have the capacity to understand the offense and defense, and you know this because he is a good teacher.
A Math teacher doesn't make a good English teacher.
A math teacher CAN make a good English teacher. Just because someone is a good math teacher doesn't mean they are not a good English teacher. Don't be simple.

He has no game prep skills as we have seen. We have also seen that he doesn't have a backup plan or is never ready to use a backup plan when needed. He has allowed the coordinators too much control and is not able to see that the "plan" isn't working and request the OC make an adjustment or tell the OC in the 2nd quarter that some of the opposition has changed methods and some of these things won't work.
I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can know any of these things to be true. The problem is you think the most simple explanation is always fact.

How can you say he knows what he is doing when everything last year and now this year has pointed to gametime mismanagement or lack of adjustments. If you put that on the Coordinators, then that proves Singletary isn't qualified to take control of the situation and devise an immediate counteractive plan.
I never said he knows what he is doing. I responded directly to your comment, nothing else. You said that because he is a good teacher it tells you that he is only a position coach and is incapable of being a good head coach. That logic is, well, not logical. It makes no sense.

He should be able to already know if Crabs was at fault on a route or if Alex was once the play is called and the execution is f**ked up. He didn't know that and doesn't know it until he sees the film and Raye explains the details to him.
I don't know about that. If he's not calling the plays how is he supposed to know from the sideline what happened? Hell, even the OC probably has to look at film to see what happened (and not just because Raye is incompetent, any OC).

Telling a rookie lineman to stay low isn't teaching. Telling him that when the DE shifts this way, they are playing this type of defense so do this is teaching.
So now you're saying he's not a good teacher. HEY, GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, SINGLETARY IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER SO THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS HE IS A GOOD HEAD COACH
