Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Will Singletary Command Respect or Draw Snickers?

Both.

Given that anybody else pulled the stunt, pulling down his pants, there would be endless echoes of snickers bouncing around, but guess who pulled the gutsy stunt, pulling down the pants (with the boxers left on, whew), it was hall-of-famer Mike Singletary.

Singletary is excused, because he gives great pre-game pep talks, with a powerful way of giving speeches to the team. He is a great coach, a dynamic one, and one with a great commanding figure,  especially when he is on the field and in the clubhouse,  all the players listen carefully.

Due to the pants down fiasco, there might be some head shaking and criticism, but most will concede that Singletary is more serious than that and means business when he says it, which comes from his heart. He didn't do it as a joke, but as a literal visual aid to jolt his team back to their senses and to teach his players to start putting back on the game face, how to build up their adrenalin levels. Singletary did admit it was a bit overboard for him to drop his pants down in front of his team like that, but he wanted to bring across a point, he was willing to sacrifice himself a bit for the sake of the team.

Singletary has the next eight games to prove that he can coach in the NFL level and possibly guide the team to a turning point. He will tone it down but he will continue to try to motivate his team into playing a higher level of football.

Singletary is sane. He pulled a far-out move, maybe a little too far , but he did it with a sound mind and a round butt, his own brand of far-fetchedness.

As some snickers can be heard in some circles, respect will be given to Singletary because he is capable of bringing change for the better, he knows how to coach a team despite adversity; he was a pro bowler while playing for the Chicago Bears and helped them to get to he playoffs. Now as a head coach, can he do the same thing?

Singletary is the perfect choice to lead a team despite adversity.
