season is over. singletary will get fired right after the last game. book it.

I don't think he'll make it past october. Manusky might be the interim until the seasons over when we can get a real HC in here.

Yesterday I thought as you did, but today I think Jed is not going to put up with much more embarrassment. He can't. Just firing Sing would put the fanbase's mind at ease for a little while at least.

I haven't seen any pressers but I also believe that Jed or Baalke told Sing to fire Raye. I don't think he did it of his own accord, he's just too stubborn, and quite possibly too stupid.

I am sick of Sing's lying. It is way too obvious. Just yesterday he said he wouldn't fire Raye. Then today it was his decision, and his decision only. Come on, man!

Would have to say Jed more then Trent, I think Trent is on the road scouting.

i am guessing his options (from york/baalke) were either him or raye. so technically, it was his decision and he let his friend hang. but i getcha. it would look weak if he went up there and said "i was told to let go of raye ".

Singletary's fate is now in the hands of his offensive coordinator. Same scenerio as Nolan had in his last season. Difference of course is that Johnson doesn't have nearly the track record Martz came in with. If he plays it conservative both his and Singletary's days are numbered. Opening up the offense (and I think they have to do it in a big way) may not work but they have no choice in my estimation. I like that. At least it could be entertaining.

I really think we are going to see a wide open offense (which, for the 2010 version of the Niners would be more than two passes thrown more than 15 yards) starting next week. I highly doubt we will see Gore up the middle on first and second down for a total of two yards. It has to be wide open. Whether Singletary survives this or not his offensive philosophy is now officially dead.

If they play in Atlanta like they did in Seattle and Kansas City (made more difficult by the fact the Falcons are a far superior team to either the Seahawks or Chiefs) then all bets are off. Another embarrassing drubbing and Singletary may not make it past next Monday. There is a lot riding on this game. Someone earlier said that after Sunday they were dreading the Atlanta game. I felt the same way. Like that poster now I am really interested to see what happens Sunday.

in the hands of a RAT?
I'm disappointed that I'm writing this prior to Week 4 even beginning, but I think the time to fire Mike Sinlgetary is now. It doesn't matter if we win or lose this weekend, we need leadership now more than ever. Michael Lewis quitting on the team has a lot to do with Singletary. I believe Mike probably didn't want to bench him, but it is obvious that the ownership is bypassing Mike at this point in time and forcing his hand on issues. In other words, Mike Sinlgetary is no longer really the head coach, and I'm sure everyone in the locker room knows it.

Lets bring the embarrassment to an end, lets get this ship back on track. The talent is here to win now, and as fans, we deserve to see the 49ers piling up Ws and not Ls!

With all due respect, it is insane to fire him now. Let the season play out before making any knee-jerk emotional decisions. Ultimately, after the 49ers finish 5-11/6-10 or perhaps worse, he will probably be let go.

What you and a lot of fans are failing to look at is the big picture. The 49ers have a storied history, but that's in the past. This is no longer considered the dream job to have for coaches. The 49ers are essentially the NFC version of the Raiders. While one has an owner that is seen as a prick that meddles, the other is seen as hands-off, but incompetent. What makes you or anyone for that matter think they'll land some great coach? Based on their track record, what makes you think they are capable of finding a diamond in the rough (like a Payton, Whisenhunt, Sparano, etc.)?

What if Jed decides Mike is not at fault and that they just need to tweak the team (STARTING WITH THE QB POSITION)?
No more f#cking excuses get it right , or pack up your stubborn conservative approach and leave town. He infuriates the crap out of me. I could even put up with some losing if he would just be aggressive.

My reaction isn't knee jerk or emotional. I've supported Singletary despite knowing that he isn't an Xs and Os guy. I supported him because I thought he had a strong character that made leaders out of young men. Clearly, that is no longer the case. The team seems to have lost its respect for Singletary and the fallout is now witnessed on the field on Sundays. It is time to end the charade.
If the team somehow salvages the season it will be because Singletary's "vision" was $hitcanned and his inexperienced OC somehow got it done. Sing should get no credit for that since he will still be the non-qual HC who just got lucky when Jed fired Raye.
He probably senses a pink slip in his near future

when this team collapses come sunday afternoon

he'll just quietly walk on over to his press conference & yap about how we need to learn how to finish & he going to take a look at the film & other bs hes been giving us for the past month

TIME TO GET A REAL NFL EXPERIENCE COACH WITH GOOD CREDENTIALS IN HERE

STOP WITH THE HIRING OF DUMB UNEXPERIENCE COORDINATORS THAT DONT KNOW JACK!!!!!

I agree. I thought Sing was the man for the job at first, but I wasn't aware initially of how unintelligent he is. His stubborn ways don't do him any favors either.

Ain't this the truth. He is just getting EXPOSED.

those 2 are the keywords that best describes Singletary

he might be a good linebackers coach but just like Mike Nolan was he was just a good coordinator but not a NFL coach type

take a back seat Singledummy & let a real pro handle the job
