I thought it would have happened already. The fact that we beat the Raiders may delay the inevitable, but we know he's a knee jerk reaction type of guy, who has been dancing around good questions by the media for some time.
Lets look at some possible knee jerk indicators of a meltdown:
- Dropping Pants
- Sending Vernon to the locker room
- Benching O'Sullivan for Hill
- Firing Martz
- Benching Hill for Smith
- Getting O'Donnel re-located off of his show all he was trying to do was set him up to look good, and Singletary Clearly didn't recognize it
- Saying Rayes job is safe
- Firing Raye
- Arguing with Smith on the Sidelines
- Not handling the medias questions in various KNBR interviews the way a headcoach should
- Arguing with Officials when he said the #1 thing he learned as a head coach is no matter how much you argue with officials, they'll never change their mind
I can go on, but these all are things not typical of a head coach who has his mind right. He is flustered, in over his head, promoted for who is was, not what he has done in this league. It's only a matter of time before he hangs himself.
I think if we suffer another major blowout loss that we should have won, which with this coaching staff is very much possible, he will have a Catharsis during a press conference, interview, or on the sideline, a meltdown, and that will be the end of it... His days are numbered as it is... but I definitely see ALOT of Coors Light Commercial material on the horizon soon.
