For those of us who lived through that glorious period, (and the 5-6 years after), there can NEVER be an acceptance of this current style of play. The very concept of enjoying a win just for the sake of winning one game, or a few games is so void of a vision to what is necessary in order to really be a winning team. I've often thought about Al Davis' motto of "Just Win Baby," and how opposite that was to our (49ers) way of being that "Precision Machine." We as fans all want a winning result, but unless our team has a detailed program/system of how to achieve continued success there won't be very many seasons of winning. The current coaching staff, in particular this head coach doesn't possess the discipline needed to seperate them/him (selves) from the game in order to perform the task of running the team throughout a game. Coach Singletary was an emotional player, but he hasn't developed the ability of being a good coach. Any amount of success that in any way might possibly sway the Yorks to give him another season to grow is just not in our best interest. I like Mike Singletary as a person, and in a few years he might very well learn how to run a team. However, I firmly believe that that learning process should take place in another organization, and the 49ers should persue a real head coach who sees the game as more than just a 3 to 3 1/2 hour "party."
Bill's legacy needs to be preserverd here, not tarnished by a brand of football where undisciplined mistakes make losing a constant in every season.
Well said. The Singletary coaching development process should take place as a coaching assistant for more time. Unfortunately the 49ers have inexperienced owners that reacted to this emotional spin at the end of last season.
