How about Mike Singletary?
 

He does run a 3-4

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Would Vitt like it if SP brought in somebody that knows more about LBs than he does?

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

I don't think Payton cares who he pisses off this off season. I'd love to have singltary. He's a mean physical punch u in the mouth type of guy. And our defense would play that way.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

I would also like Singeltary. What I mean thou is that its seems that SP is very loyal to Vitt and I don't think he would like to get any controvesy on the staff.

Singletary=Fail

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Would he bring his gigantic wooden cross with him?

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

That would be good because then we could nail everybody who misses a tackle to that cross.

Seriously, don't make me pull out the that's on me vid....... No

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

He's the one who instilled the 49'ers physical attitude and built them ... Harbaugh was the genius of the sort , but Singletary definatley built them and did a bang up job

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

I don't know...
I don't think he's good at inspiring people to play all out for him. I don think they're much better choice although I can't think of anyone atm

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Great player does not = great coach

he has already proven he has coaching issues.

I can see the headline now...

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

As a head coach absalutely he has issues, but as a defensive coordinator he was very good.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Not sold on him either as DC... not sure he was respected as a coach by the players based on how the Whiners have flourished after him.

Read Smashes reply below yours. It's not his ability I question. It's his leadership. Leading the defense requires that or you have a revolt at the end of the year... Que ~ anonymous player saying Spags needed to go.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Whoever our new DC is, I'm sure Sean will pick the right guy

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

They've done it mostly on the shoulders of their great defense, and Singletary was key part in drafting many of those players who make up the core of that defensive unit today - exactly what the Saints need at the moment.


And as far as I know, there haven't been any incidents between him and the players or other staff members at Minnesota, in fact pretty much the opposite.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Exactly, it's no coincident that the Vikings defense got much better when he joined the staff.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

My point is this defense needs a defensive coordinator who is goona put a foot in some azzes. Not one who is looking to be loved.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Vikings #2 in defense...
Minnesota Vikings Team Page at NFL.com
But they sucked against the pass, relatively speaking.
Singletary was not a DC.....just a LB coach ... Minnesota Vikings | Coaches
So, just how much credit he is due remains in question. Maybe the ACTUAL DC, Alan Williams? How does that translate into a viable DC for us?

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

.......that is all.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Payton knows

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

However Mike is not a Defensive Coordinator for the Vikings.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Yeah, I didn't mean that Singletary was the one who deserves credit for the improved defense the Vikes fielded this year, only that he hasn't been a disruptive force within the staff nor has he had any altercations with players. And that comment was made in response to the concerns some voiced at the way things ended between him and the 49ers. Singletary is not the DC for the Vikes, but a "special assistant to the HC" and the LB coach, although I don't know if anyone here really stated that he was their DC to begin with. In any case, he does deserve credit for the way Jasper Brinkley played this season, it being the first season he played as the starting MLB taking over for E. J. Henderson.

And there's no way Williams is going to leave the Vikes to make a lateral move to New Orleans, because he is happy in Minnesota and he works well together with Frazier... AND he has much better player material over there.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

I don't think Singletary is a good coach. He had the basic pieces in San Fran and couldn't do anything with them.
He was a great player and could possibly be a position coach. Maybe.
I just wasn't a fan of his coaching style.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Saw espn talkin bout Crennel N Mangini Tag teaming it on our D.... Hey it just might take to D coordinators to make this D play good....

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

He's a lot like Herm Edwards. Too boisterous. When I saw Singletary embarrass Alex Smith on the sidelines I hoped that he would never be involved with the Saints organization.

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

no thanks on singletary

Re: How about Mike Singletary?
 

Hold on there Amigo...

Singletary fired in 2010 Season

2011 NFL Draft
R1 Aldon Smith, DE/LB (Starter)
R2 Colin Kaepernick, QB (Starter)
R3 Chris Culliver, CB (B/U)

R6 Ronald Johnson, WR (Philly)
R7 Colin Jones, S (Carolina)
R7 Bruce Miller, FB (Starter)
R7 Mike Person, OT (Seattle)
R7 Curtis Holcomb, CB (Wanting)

If anything, you make the case that our personnel dept needs to follow Spags and Flahole on the long walk into the wilderness and...

...great a job Coach Payton has done since he arrived...

No Mike is too unstable and is a fine position coach...

...Now, I wouldn't be opposed to him being our, (wait for it)...
