7 years Alex Smith + another year Dingletary could easily be here in 2011. It's looking more and more like that could realistically happen.

Singletary won't be here unless we bring home a ring.

Gotta root 'em on to make the playoffs.
That said... i'd feel much better about the playoff push if Sing was canned at 0-5 and Alex Smith were cut.

Because I'm a selfish fan and want both. I want the playoffs this year and after the season is over I want Sing and Alex gone. Why can't we want and expect both to happen?

Make the playoffs at 8-8 with Alex Smith playing well and producing well in the last 4 games, with a competently played playoff game and you'll make a believer out of me.
Alex Smith has to hit benchmarks of excellence in all 4 games (1 down).
I still want MS to be gone, but I could see him staying if he finally learns and realizes the value of a less conservative, more open offensive philosophy based on the productivity of a QB. No one can be that obtuse.

Obtuse? Someone just watched Shawshank Redemption.
But Sing is obtuse.

If we made the playoffs but still fired Singletary, I'm ok with that. The only reason we have a shot is because of the ineptitude of the NFC West and nothing that Singletary is actually doing. So sure, lets have another meaningless run at the end of the season, finish 3-1 or 4-0. If we still dump Singletary, fine by me.

For those of you who want to make the playoffs because you are "true 49ers fans", you are not thinking about the consequences of your wish. If we make the playoffs, we take the risk of keeping Alex Smith and Coach Singletary. If those scenarios happen, we will REMAIN MEDIOCRE and possibly give up the opportunity to get a REAL head coach like Jon Gruden.
What would you rather have? A team that makes the playoffs this year, retains Singletary and Smith, and is mediocre for the next 3 years? Or missing the playoffs this year, getting a new head coach and quarterback, and ACTUALLY COMPETING in the playoffs in the near future?
I am willing to sacrifice this year, and start working on a team that will make a run in the playoffs, instead of a team that will hardly squeeze in and get embarassed in the first round in the future. Capisci?
Make the playoffs = Increased confidence

I will be embarrassed if we make the playoffs. It's like the NFL is handing out charity to the NFC W winner. I'd much rather hear the Rams be the butt of the joke. And yes it's the playoffs, everyones 0-0, and anything can happen. But really, Sing can't gameplan against the Panthers. Wait til we have to play a REAL team. That's in playoff mode.
