49ers players bag on coaching staff | Page 3

jreff22 · 2010-11-26T07:52:14-08:00

49ers coach Mike Singletary has yet to exterminate the “rat” in the building. More than two months after anonymous 49ers sources criticized the team’s coaching staff in a “dad-gum Yahoo commericial,” players are speaking out again — this time to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle. One “experienced” player says the 49ers don’t make adjustments like other teams. One said that his family knows what play the 49ers will run in a given situation. A former 49ers player said “there’s no backup plan” when things don’t go well. Yikes. The latest criticism comes after the 49ers were badly out-coached in a 21-0 loss to the Bucs. “Once teams know what the 49ers want to do with the ball, their defenses adjust and the 49ers typically struggle to make their own necessary counterchanges, several players said this week,” White writes. No matter what you think of anonymous sources killing the team’s coaching staff, articles like this will not help Singletary’s chances of outlasting the rats. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/26/49ers-players-bag-on-coaching-staff/

Wow did he just say that?

Like how the Niners pretty much owned the Bears in the 80's. With the exception of one game during the Bears Super Bowl year. Conspiracy theory, maybe he's running the team into the ground to exact revenge for the 80's. Just kidding!!

The experienced player has been on other teams in the past. I think its most likely Ginn.

I think it is Brian Westbrook. He hasn't been getting enough touches and he has been around a very successful and creative offense with the eagles.

The rest, especially sullivan/sing/manusky need to go.

Tomsula should stay. Our D-line from top to bottom has improved since he's been here. Nearly everyone had given up on Sopoaga, now he's a solid starter. Who the heck was Aubrayo Franklin before he got coached up by Tumsula?

His only failure was Kentwan Balmer. We'll see if he can do any better in Seattle. So far he's had 10 games with 6 starts and 21 tackles. Yay.

I think him and Rathman are the only two that I really want to keep.

I'd say that's a good guess.

f**k, were the redskins now...

wrong Jerry Sullivan is great

so is Tomsula and Mike Solari will get it together

Pete Hoener and Tom Rathman are both coaches that belong on staff as well.

I think we need a 100% fresh start

Yes.

Tom rathman was a great Niner but I have serious issues with his department. Sure he is not calling plays but the continued use of Norris, and the lack of Westbrook
and Dixon makes me wonder if he sees the bigger picture.

And Jerry Sullivan has not produced a single WR in all his many years with the team

Egos are powerful forces. Look on this board where posters rarely admit they are wrong.

In the case of Jed, he will be reluctant to admit that he and his Dad have been terribly wrong the last nine years: Donahue, Erickson, Nolan and now Singletary. That is a pretty impressive record of cluelessness.

Egos are powerful forces as in right now when you call the Yorks clueless for supporting the same coaches that all of us as fans vehemently defended also? Or did you forget that this whole dang board was Rollin with Nolan a few short years ago and bloviatig about how him wearing a suit on the sideline was EXACTLY what this team needed?

Ego and hindisght. Funny Things....

For some reason 'Ginn' doesn't come off as the 'smart' type to come to these sort of conclusions, I think it's definitely Westbrook (who was the same anonymous source which grilled Andy Reid cause of his refusal to run the ball more at Philly).

Didi they say that ?

No. My bad. I insinuated that because the article was comparing our lack of adjustments to another team. I thought it might be Ginn.

True. Westbrook sounds more like it.

Its what we feared all along. This just proves that with this coaching staff, we will not be a successful team.

Let mike johnson interview for the job. Sing isn't doing his job.

just let the oc do his job and win the game and then we can play iform sing is holding the team back with coaching to loss not to win he's got to become flexible or he needs to go.

Yes that and just watch the games and you can see we don't have a coaching staff.
