One reason Singletary is becoming unlikeable...

I like Singletary, too...but he's simply not head coach material. He got the job because it was an easy decision for Jed...and at the time, it seemed like the team was responding to his style of leadership. But leadership by whatever example isn't enough in the NFL...head coaches have to know how to manage a game and when the situation calls for it, jump in there and assert your knowledge and experience to win games. Singletary just can't do that and it's clearly hurting our team's chances to win.

my problem with Singletary is that he did nothing to improve as a coach this offseason. I think he is realizing his limitations and I think he is surprised by them, which is kind of sad. BUT I think he can still become a good HC, though it might take him more time than we have.

You seemed to imply that he can still learn. But the question is: Can an old dog learn new tricks? Singletary will be 52 in a few days and closing fast to retirement age.

He didn't have answers or specifics for anything, because he doesn't understand or know them.
Inappropriate comment, just because someone is a janitor doesn't mean they lack understanding of a modern NFL offense.

The only reason he's becoming unlikeable...he's 0-4. If he was 3-1 or 2-2, he'd be a lot more likeable.

that was the most politically correct response I have seen in all my years on the zone. Are you really defending janitor's around the world?

Pretty sure that was sarcasm

I'm pretty sure guys are or were getting tired of the play calling and execution from certain positions on the offense. If coach changes these things and the team gets back on track, the whole outlook and attitude will change.

I'm getting a little sick of his sideline antics. Very unprofessional...I mean, I could understand yelling, looking like you're having a brain aneurysm over a busted call in the 4th quarter or something like that, but over a timeout? Really? Dude makes calling a simple timeout look like something from the Jerry Springer show. Calm the f*ck down and show some class. You're 0-4 so now when you do things like this it makes you look like an idiot. If you're 4-0, do whatever you want. Even one of the announcers was commenting on it...he said something like, "I don't understand what he's yelling about. It's his job to run down the sidelines to call a timeout." Then later, when the Falcons HC ran down the sideline to call a timeout, the same announcer said something to the effect of, "See, now that's how it's done."

Singletary right now reminds me of Nolan in 2007. Nolan stuck by Dilfer, even though Dilfer was playing like trash. I am afraid the losses will just keep coming

Agree

WTF

Yeah, because those are the only two options.
