Singletary was one scary SOB on the field

jacobyfan · 10-20-2008, 06:38 PM

Shocking. Nolan did such a good job with our defense.

JLW428 · 10-20-2008, 07:49 PM

Anyone find a link? Or is this just a "hear-say" situation?

53Fan · 10-20-2008, 08:11 PM

IF this is true, good for Mike. He deserves a shot.

ESPN - Source: 49ers plan to fire coach Nolan after Sunday's game - NFL

The Niners suck and this may be true.

It seems a little difficult to believe right now, though. You either fire a coach or you don't. You don't announce that you will fire your coach "next week," even if you are thinking that. If everyone knows he is a lame duck then the whole squad will tank this week. The fact that this all comes from an unnamed "source" makes it especially fishy.

It makes sense when you look at their schedule. They have a bye coming up after this week.

i hate the 49ers only slightly less than the giants,iggles,and cowbitches!

Mort from espn just broke the news that the 49ers fired mike nolan an hour ago,and they are negotiating with singeltary to become the new coach.

ESPN - 49ers fire coach Nolan, give job to assistant Singletary - NFL

SmootSmack · 10-20-2008, 10:28 PM

I'm going to edit the thread title. It wasn't Stephen A. that reported this during NFL Live, it was Michael Smith

Another rebuilding year for the 49ers. Owners aren't waiting till the end of the year to hire coaches this year. I think Wade in Dallas is next if he doesn't get things turned around.

CRedskinsRule · 10-20-2008, 10:43 PM

what does this mean for our final game??? (am I looking ahead?)

deathGRINDx · 10-20-2008, 11:12 PM

Nolan really caught a tough break. they just dont have any playmakers, and him banking his career on Alex Smith was just terrible.
