Mike Singletary Fired: Jed York, Jim Tomsula Press Conference

Among other reasons.

Even the people who get paid to cover the team constantly complain about being there.

His offenses usually suck

I would rather have FIsher, Cowher, Gruden, Fox etc….

usually in a negative light, but Eddie D hired the worst GM in all of football history in Joe Thomas and had losing seasons for 4 years before winning the first Super Bowl. Jed has had all of 2 years running things for the 49ers. I think we ought to give him at least as long as Eddie D had before we hang him out to dry.

I don’t think MS had/has enough experience to be a good defensive coordinator. He needs to learn the X’s & O’s to a tee. There has to be a good mix of zone & man and know when to call defensive audibles and get them in quickly as he recognizes what the offense is doing. IT really is a chess match and to see Mike overmatched on a weekly basis made things SO difficult to watch week in and week out.

MS needs to get these down. As Ninjames said above….. it’s a matter of football education…. he knows HOW TO as a player but he needs to become a better communicator and understand the strategy aspect of it. He’s a smart guy and he’ll get it but he needs time to develop into this. His best role right now would be as a LB coach IMO.

Coach speak stuff does little to my perception of the coach, much less my view of their intelligence. My favorite coach is Popovich and he’d likely rather be waterboarded than pamper the media or divulge any strategy in public. He works at playing dumb, as though every good thing he strategized was by accident. He receives less credit but gets the desired result which is team success.

Sing is not clever enough to play the media game, regardless of his coaching abilties. Mooch was great at media charm which helped to cover some of his coaching weaknesses. This is another reason I have worries about Gruden; his football charisma charms the pants off many fans every week and people are buying what he’s selling without a second thought as to what Gruden as HC means.

shows that you are inflexible. Are you saying that because he doesn’t give you answers means he is retarded? Thats like if I ask you what is wrong with you. You would say that you need to try harder and that you still need to look into what is wrong. If you had the answer the problem would be fixed. The X’s and O’s of football are very complex and an all-nighter on Madden isn’t the answer. I am not so ignorant of saying I understand them or else I would have a job in football.

for the saban era, mueller shouldn’t get blame because saban had final say on everything. however, mueller hired cam cameron. that pretty much nails shut the coffin for me.

I think it’s what’s best for the 49ers org. I just don’t think saying, “Heck, I have no idea what I’m doing” is considered growing a pair. Growing a pair is usually constituted with boldness, which is why I’m saying Jed York castrated himself.

Now in contrast, Mike Singletary had a pair. Even though his pair was one of the greater factors to why this team is not in the playoffs and is sitting at 5-10. He made decisions that were controversial and went against public opinion. That to me, is having a pair, while stepping back is not.

I wish I knew where I read this but it showed that Eddie was very upset with John for not getting his advice a long time ago. When Jed took over the first thing he did was consult his uncle on what to do. The first thing he told him was the stadium was in ruins and it had to be taken care of first. That is why Jed did the hall of fame and had Eddie inducted to show thanks and respect. Eddie has been around since Sing became HC. Not as an acting president, but advice in Jed’s ear. That is why this presser made so much sense of him wanting football minds running the football aspect of the business, as Eddie D did for so long
