Singletary angry on KPIX interview (1 Viewer)

[pghrob]

The HOF head coach was mad as hell. Frustrated over more questions about offensive play call problem reports on yahoo. Coach said niners will stop Brees and niners will run.

Apparently, KPIX is a team partner and it appears they pulled the interview from its website.

One of your links says the video has been pulled (oh why?). That's not accurate, it lives on...

Accoring to this report, there is also possible discord on the defense, as there was a fight at practice.

 

[DesmondBishop]

Whats worse is watching Jamie Dukes (IMHO is an idiot) say it is all Alex Smith's fault, he kept saying did you see Singletary on the field and blah blah blah.

Obviously Smith had a bad game but the coach will always share in the blame for not having a team prepared to play and clearly they were not prepared to play with how they were beaten. Dukes did not mention how Crabtree ran wrong routes and stopped on plays and didn't go full speed on multiple plays, I am sure that was Smith's fault as well.

 

[red]

the fans are frustrated with smith and guarded with singletary....the team looked awful last week; if it continues, both will be out. re: the interview, it was at the end of the day and you can tell singletary would've rather had no more contact with any media. he doesn't like the media and doesn't know how to manage the media. dennis o'donnell was trying to throw him some softballs because he had airtime to fill and singletary didn't want anything to do with it (or is just too stupid to realize it).

Why would it be a joke? Some of the things that happened last week were clear signs of a poorly coached team. And now Singletary is melting down in a radio interview?? Show a little composure and professionalism, man.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Singletary sounded frustrated in this interview and came across as someone extremely on edge due to losing to an inferior opponent in week 1, and is facing a superior opponent this week.

If Singletary is this rattled about a reporter asking questions about an offense that was awful in game 1 then I don't think it bodes well for his ability to stay composed and lead his team into battle as a coach.

I don't know how well his "in your face" type of mentality will work going forward. This train wreck could happen as early as this year.

Totally agree. Though Mike has done some good things, I think the dude is ultimately way over his head. I would be worried if I was a 9er fan.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

49ers were a very average team last year... that 8 and 8 record is totally misleading....

Wins last year:

Arizona (twice)

Seattle

St. Louis (twice)

Chicago

Jax

Det

Other than Arizona who was only a 9 and 7 team themselves, the 49ers beat no one of relevance... They are fortunate to play in the NFC west and they are not a very good football team.

 

[Breesisdaman]

I love Mike as a person, football player and role model but to talk like this about the other team gives them your game plan (They knew it anyway) but also locker room material and motivation. The Saints will already be fired up because its Monday night and because they themselves came out with a bad outing the first game and need to prove something to themselves about their team. Mike should just keep his mouth shut before this blows up in his face big time.

 

[chinawildman]

As a fan, this reeks of desperation... but hoepfully I'm wrong. SF is ridiculously bad on the road vs. at home. In fact the game last year against seattle was eerily similar except a few bounces went the niners' way (they still lost), then they came back the next week and dominated cards on monday night.

 

[Breesisdaman]

Sean Payton ; Greg Williams will let the football players respond, Im sure they wont say a single thing about it to the media.

there are different type of coaches in the world. some are very passionate, like singeltary. he isn't melting down, he is in complete control. not everyone is like that fairy dungy, nor can they inherit great teams. smith is a joke and he is the main problem for singeltary and there isnt much he can do about it.singletary has done an admirable job with the Niners so far and he is highly respected with the players, coaches, amangement and the entire city of SF. so just layoff because you guys really have no idea what are you talking about on this topic.

This is the same guy that showed his team his butt right? Yeah he is in way over his head. If they have a clusterf*** of a season I can see him being let go.

Agreed. Winning 8 games in either West division is like finishing 6-10 anywhere else. I've never been impressed with Singletary and I think his style reeks of desperation in an attempt to cover up for other shortcomings.

Hahaha!! The entire city of SF can respect the hell out of him, but if the 9ers crap the bed this year, he's on the hot seat. Oh, and here's their next 4 games: NO, @KC, @ATL, PHI. SF could feasibly start the season 0-5. How much respect would the ENTIRE city of San Fran have for Mike then? Maybe he'll pull his pants down again. That should get his players attention. There's a fine line between eccentricities and lunacy. It's called winning.

yeah and it's also called 0-1. it's not the end of world. they couldeasily beat KCand PHI. Atl is also beatable.

 

[mdlane]

Sing went through these same types of issues when he first took over. He dropped his pants in a team meeting. He didn't understand the rules for coaches' challenges and wasn't prepared to make calls to throw the red flag. He suffered from a severe lack of communication and rules knowledge when the Niners were driving for the win on Arizona's three-yard-line .. and opted to go to Michael Robinson on a play meant to gain one yard. These are all questions that plagued Singletary when the Niners were losing.

Everyone knows Singletary is not a competent head coach, game-knowledge wise. But we're all willing to suspend disbelief as long as the Niners are winning, and as long as his supporting staff steps in to compensate for his shortcomings. That didn't happen last week, and I think you can see the local media turning against him. But it's only one game and this team has the talent to win.

 

[heidbrink]

How long before we see him in a Coors Light commercial?

Doing a thing well <> Coaching a thing well. They are a different skill set.

I'm a big fan of Singletary and he seemed to be bringing his brand of toughness to the team. But, thus far as a HC, he appears to have some developing of his own to do. If his team continues to implode and he continues to act erratic, his coaching career will be a short one.

He's taking on a certain Mike Ditka quality.In fact he reminds me of Mike Ditka a lot, as a head coach anyway (but in a few other ways too...).

True, but look at their road opponents last yr. MIN, IND, GB, HOU, PHI were all playoff caliber teams. THey should have beaten the vikings and colts, and made valiant comebacks against houston and green bay. The niners are a much better home team, I think that will become obvious come Monday.

IIRC they were DESTROYED at home by Atlanta last year (think it was 45-10). One of the worst performances I've ever seen. Truly..

smith is a joke and he is the main problem for singeltary and there isnt much he can do about it.

singletary has done an admirable job with the Niners so far and he is highly respected with the players, coaches, amangement and the entire city of SF.

so just layoff because you guys really have no idea what are you talking about on this topic.

Except that Singletary hitched his wagon to Smith last year and refused to look elsewhere for a competent QB. I mean, he had zero contingency plans if Smith sucked. He banked his whole team's success on Smith being a good QB and now it's backfiring but somehow he's getting off without any of the blame? Tell me how that makes sense. No, there's nothing he can do about it now, but he could have done something about it last year. I live in the bay area and there aren't a lot of people that have respect for him right now. Every fan that I've talked to is doubting that Singletary can hang in this league. He's not in complete control. His KNBR interview on Friday sounded completely different that any we've heard this offseason. He didn't have that tenacity in his voice, that unabashed pride that made SF willing to follow him in the first place.

I know it's only week 1 but I'm calling for a change right now (and actually have been since the Niners couldn't beat any good teams last year). Singletary needs to go, Smith needs to go, and Raye has needed to go since the beginning of 09.

Doesn't matter how much talent you have if the leadership is lousy. See Dallas.

You must be fishing. I live in the Bay Area and your take is far from reality. Singletary doesn't get much respect but the Bay Area's amateur media (particularly KNBR guys aside from Barbieri) know how to deal with him. Raye will be the first to go, then Singletary, then Smith. All of this could happen before start of 2011 season. Hope I'm wrong.

If your talking about front office leadership, well that has resulted in 3 Super Bowls. If your talking about coaching...I think GB lost their 1st round playoff game where Big D won theirs correct?

I think Smith goes before Singletary, but yes, it could all happen this season. If they lose badly to New Orleans, everyone involved will be on the hot seat.

Meant to say that the Bay Area media does NOT know how to manage Singletary. Bay Area sports media is a bit of a joke but that's another topic.

With respect to Dallas, I am talking about Wade and Romo. Dallas will never go deep with those two.Not sure what you're after with the GB comment. Young team starts the season 4-4 only to go 7-1 to finsih the season and make the playoffs, losing to the defending NFC champion on the road. As long as expectations are realistic, what's not to like about that story?

Exactly. And like Ditka, he doesn't have a filter on what comes out of his mouth. Calling a few of his players "babies" and his talk about making players into men is in today's game is unprofessional and I believe unproductive. He would make a great College HC or NFL position coach but he's clearly in over his head as the 9ers HC. After a while, I expect the players to become tired of his shtick. You already see his QB warring with his OC in the media. This isn't good, 9er fans...

I think your timeline is accurate. I had high hopes for Singletary, but I just don't see the 9ers being successful under his leadership.I saw that KNBR interview, and when asked about Raye, you could see his eyes get all crazy and it looked like he was losing his mind.I know he had teh crazy eyes when he played, but I have to wonder if Singletary is suffering from the beginning stages of brain damage. The guy hit as hard as anyone when he played and all of his weird behavior and verbal outbursts aren't what I remember of him when he was giving interviews as a player.

Little things must amuse small minds. If Alex Smith tries the force the ball vs New Orleans, he will get most of the blame and Mike will make the switch. I don't believe in Carr whatsoever. Troy Smith could be starting before long. Every starting QB has some value especially when bye weeks and injuries come into play. I don't know what type of leagues you play in but most of my leagues are dynasty with incredible deep rosters.

I don't understand going with Troy Smith over Nate Davis. And I don't get goin with Carr over A. Smith.

But in any event, should SF (team, coaches, fans) expect Alex Smith to do what Kurt Warner, Brett Favre (X2) and Peyton Manning were not in 4 successive games?

If I was a 9er fan and if Smith disintegrates on the field I'd be looking at Singletary, not blaming A. Smith.

there are different type of coaches in the world. some are very passionate, like singeltary. he isn't melting down, he is in complete control. not everyone is like that fairy dungy, nor can they inherit great teams. smith is a joke and he is the main problem for singeltary and there isnt much he can do about it.singletary has done an admirable job with the Niners so far and he is highly respected with the players, coaches, amangement and the entire city of SF. so just layoff because you guys really have no idea what are you talking about on this topic.

You must be fishing. I live in the Bay Area and your take is far from reality. Singletary doesn't get much respect but the Bay Area's amateur media (particularly KNBR guys aside from Barbieri) know how to deal with him. Raye will be the first to go, then Singletary, then Smith. All of this could happen before start of 2011 season. Hope I'm wrong.

I think your timeline is accurate. I had high hopes for Singletary, but I just don't see the 9ers being successful under his leadership.I saw that KNBR interview, and when asked about Raye, you could see his eyes get all crazy and it looked like he was losing his mind.I know he had teh crazy eyes when he played, but I have to wonder if Singletary is suffering from the beginning stages of brain damage. The guy hit as hard as anyone when he played and all of his weird behavior and verbal outbursts aren't what I remember of him when he was giving interviews as a player.

serisously? brain damage? you are completely out of touch. annonymous message boards really bring out the braniacs. i think maybe you need a catscan personally.

49ers have come a long way since Singletary took over, he will have another season after this to get things right if we don't do well this season. But then again its only Week 1 and apparently the media took a page out of SP as far as overreactions go. Smith will go first, then Ray, then Singletary IMO.

Singletary is so "in complete control" that he hired a bad OC, couldn't get the OC to get the plays called in time, and couldn't say as of Wednesday or Thursday this week exactly what he would do to fix that, despite being "in complete control".LOL at "that fairy Dungy". It takes more than a loud voice to be a good HC.

This weeks game will tell you a lot about where this team is and the control/respect Singletary currently has in the locker room.

From a betting stance this has all the makings of a "trap" game for Saints bettors.

But as evidenced by all the fallout after the loss to the Seahawks it looks as though Singletary may be losing the team.

As much as this game is an bit of a emotional letdown game for the Saints I think the extra time in between games and the fact it is a MNF game will ensure that Sean Payton has his team focused. After a brutal ugly loss the 49ers certainly SHOULD be a focused team too. However, if the 49ers meltdown again this week and get smoked again then I think it is safe to say Singletary has completely lost the room and the 49ers will be in for a long season. If the 49ers give the Saints a good battle and the game comes down to the wire then it probably shows Singletary still has some credibility in the locker room.

I see another blowout coming but I guess we'll see.
