Singletary : Saints
 

The Current 49'ers roster has 21 Starters from before their Harbaugh Era began , meaning they came from the Singletary era ...

This Man may not have had the Head Coaching Juice that so few do , but he damn sure made some real old school Tape and Knuckles type football players.

The Swag. The Strut. The Physical Animals. The Intensity , ha sounds like everything the Saints have been missing on defense and creeping onto the offensive side of the Ball as well.

If Romeo gets a another gig beyond New Orleans , my guy is Mike Singletary. Hands Down. Drew Brees has proved all he needs is a decent Defense and he'll get you a Lombardi. With Singletary barking down everyone's throat I doubt we'll miss any part of our current defense.

Sean Payton Turned to a 3-4 for several reasons.

1. He gets to keep Vilma

2. His Linebackers are the Strength of His Defense

3. The 3-4 Makes tons of sense in a Pass Happy league.

4. 3-4 Means there are more bodies around the Ball down field = Turnovers.


I think Crennel Is a Great Choice , but we could snag good old knock the snot out of you Singletary for cheaper.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

The coaches salary is not a part of the cap, so that part really isn't an issue. Who gets the most out of what we have and will have is the only is issue that matters to me.... For me right now Crennel is the guy, I think in the end they may wind up hiring Mangini too. Those guys know that AFC division we are going head to head with this season. I think they give us the best chance to make this D successful.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Totally agree

Crennel is the guy we should get to run the D, he is a great coordinator and knows the 3-4 scheme and how to install it somewhere new

I wouldn't be against hiring mangini as our DB's coach, those guys could really help our team

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

1. Vilma has nothing to do with the Saints 3-4
Vilma has always been a strictly 4-3 kinda guy. He doesn't match well with a 3-4 scheme. In fact, when Eric Mangini took over the Jets in 2006 and brought with him a switch to the 3-4, Vilma's production suffered seriously over the next two years. So much so that in 2008 the Jets let him shop for a trade, one that brought him to New Orleans.

2. Aldon Smith was not a Singletary decision.

3. The 49ers Defense never broke the top 10 while he was in SF.
He is in Minnesota right now for the last two years doing what he did in SF and the Vikings Defense is raking the same as the 49ers did when he was there.

What does "cheaper" have to do with anything?

There is already a Mike Singletary thread.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

I disagree, he has a very limited role in Minnesota when it comes to the actual implementation of the defense, and very little credit should be given to him personally for the way that defense bounced back this year - all numbers aside.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Ok.. Less of a reason to want him. :-)

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Not a big Singletary fan (as a coach).

I have my heart firmly entrenched on acquiring Romeo Crennel... or Todd Grantham.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Exactly. :smokin:

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

But it's everyone get thier own thread Tuesday!

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

I really don't care who it is .... Just dont bring anymore BS to this club

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Yeah, I'm not at all bought in to the idea of Singletary as a coach. Obviously there is the SF fiasco. But I've also seen him involved in a few sideline conversations (miked up stuff on NFLN), and just not very impressed at all.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

That is EXACTLY why he left the Jets - to get to a 4-3 team.
That said, he'll be with us for another season or two. We signed him up for that long....

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

I agree.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Although you can not tell... I clicked "like" 12 times in bold and all caps.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

You mean he's been droppin his draws in Minnsota!? That's hilarious!

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Payton is either waiting on someone to clear for a hire or hes still debating on crenell or viseversa. Just bring somebody in soon i'm shaking to get this de fixed to normal. Get back to contending.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Maybe we should hire Singletary as our defensive scout. The one we have sucks.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

:D

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Whoever SP brings in will be well scrutinized, he will not make another mistake like with GW.

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

I dont know, GW and then spags ?
The only thing I am confident of is that whoever we pick for defense, player or DC, will probably not work out,lol.
If I were a HC of another team, I would wait until NO picks FA's and Coaches for defense 1st, to reducing the chance that I accidentally pick a bunch of over paid duds.

At this point maybe the FO should list the best DC's and players for the job, and then find coaches and players Not on that list, LOL

..joking

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

The bad news is......you are probably right.:cool:

Re: Singletary : Saints
 

Maybe he can run a 4-6?
