Without knowing the quality of the coaching staff that he could have brought to the U of M. I felt he might have been an option for the new HC position.

My initial feeling is that he would be a great recruiter and a fantastic coach but once bitten twice shy. Still, I think he might be a Big Ten head coach someday.

It will be his only option to be a head coach again. I think he will be a coordinator at the NFL level for the rest of his career. Loose cannon type that failed badly.
 


He's one of those guys everyone wants to be successful. He got catapulted to the top and failed miserably. He can probably give a great motivational speech, but outside of that he has no clue what the heck he's doing.
 

I think he has what it takes but he's going to have to learn to backoff and learn how to deal with different personalities. Not every one of his players is going to be an intense, driven, hall-of-fame calliber player which is extremely difficult to comprehend for someone who was all of those things as a player.
 


I know many love the demonstrative/in-your-face coaching style, but Singletary proves once again that there is more to being a head coach (at any level) than gesticulating wildly and going all bug-eyed. The guy could probably sell a flea collar to a werewolf, but he was badly overmatched as a head coach.

As someone above said, he'll be a top-notch coordinator the rest of his career and there's nothing wrong with that. Look at Marinelli with the Bears or the career of Ray Rhodes. Great football guys who just couldn't pull off the head coaching gig.
 

Yeah, that 1st SF game where he pulled his pants off was over the top. Even so, Singletary walks into your living room and that would be something.
 

Hmmm.... The barn door is shut. I wonder if there are any horses left in there?
 

Terrible, terrible pro coach and probably would be an even worse college coach. Will never HC again.
 



The emperor had no cloths.

You can show off to the camera's to the detriment of the players if you want too but you still have to go into the locker room. That whole "can't use him speech" was a great sound bite but it served no purpose other the to remove the interim coach tag.

The guy came off as pretending to be a coach, he reminded me of my man Al Pachino in "Any Given Sunday" he was over acting and over the top as a coach. Players know when you are real.:cool02:

Much like Brewster, he was a position coach who moved into a head coaching position. He had only been a linebackers coach for 4 years before S.F. made him coach. WTF did they expect. You can't just yell at people in order to get them to do things. People fell in love with the idea of Singletary as a head coach, but as often is the case, former HoF players rarely become HoF coaches. They should really start making those Miller Lite commercials with the former players again, then he'd have something to do.
