Yeah, like it hasn't happened before .... right?Go hug a tree.

Come on now....no need for the race card. If the Raiders fired Shell would you cry the same thing??????Either the coach is a good coach or bad.....it makes no difference te color of his skin!
And yet the league insists that you interview at least one minority coaching candidate before hiring someone. So much for color-blindness. Race belongs in this discussion because the NFL has insisted that it be a part of the NFL head coaching discussion.
I sent Muldoon a PM to provide me proof of one instance where an NFL head coach was dismissed due to his race.I must say that I am shocked that I haven't received a response.
Gotta disagree with that one. Following that logic race belongs in every conversation because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You can see how silly that would be. Race is usually injected into topics here not by the subject matter, but by posters with an axe to grind.Race belongs in this discussion because the NFL has insisted that it be a part of the NFL head coaching discussion.
No, the Civil Rights Act reference is silly. Are you denying that the NFL requires franchises to interview minority candidates when hiring new coaches? Is it so ridiculous to suggest that the logical correllary of such a policy is that decisions to fire minority coaches should be subject to special reconsideration? As for any axes to grind, the only axes I grind are stupid requirements that only perpetuate racism rather than actually addressing core problems. I don't view the world through race-colored glasses and that's why I resent hiring requirements which only breed resentment. Anyway, there's probably nothing to this story about Crennel, much less any suspicion that race forms a part of any decision involving him at this point.Gotta disagree with that one.

My point exactly. Some troll just inserted race into the thread to watch the inevitable.
I think Muldoon's response was a poor attempt at sarcasm. Either way it was lame.
According to the Steeler's insider site, Randy Lerner told a Cleveland TV station off the record that he was enamored with Cowher coaching the Browns. Not that's its a sign of anything. Many teams would say the same thing. The article that seems to be based on that "off the record" discussion is here: Plain DealerI've not been able to find any mention of the 8mil/yr contract though. I'd agree w/GB that the number is pure fan speculation.

THE REVERENDS ARE IDIOTS!
their new O cooridinator can. He'd probably have that job with another team next year if not.

Romeo is rumored to be headed to San Francisco, if he is fired in ClevelandSingletary would return to the Assistant Head Coach position and would likely be promoted to Defensive Coordinator as well and would be groomed as Romeo's successorThe 49ers brass and coaching staff will look like this:General Manager - Mike HolmgrenScouting Director - Scot McCloughanHead Coach - Romeo CrennelOffensive Coordinator - Tom RathmanDefensive Coordinator - Mike SingletaryI wouldn't expect or count on Martz being in SF past this season either, clearly a desperation hire by Nolan who should have either learned the offensive side of the ball, or hired a young, competent coordinator a long time ago. The Martz hiring was too little way too late
This coming from a guy who's beloved franchise hired and fired Art Shell, not once, but twice?
Why would SF demote their current HC and hire a failure from Cleveland? I don't know the situation in SF but this sounds ridiculous.
Singletary is in line for the head coaching position down the road in SF, but by no means is he currently ready to be an NFL Head Coach. Hasn't even been more than an NFL positon coach, so he's got alot to learn before he's NFL Head Coach ready.Romeo interviewed with SF for the Head Coaching position and was one of the top candidates the year that Nolan was hired. Here's an old article:
Singletary is a head coach now and will remain so for the rest of the season. He will has more experience than Mike Tomlin did when he took over the HC job for the Steelers.I will be shocked if Singletary accepts a demotion for a guy that has already proven to be a lousy HC.
Wrong! Singletary is the interim Head Coach. See definition of interim, belowAn interim is a temporary pause in a line of succession or event. It is frequently used as an appositive noun, in which case it serves as an adjective meaning "in between," "transitional," or "temporary."
According to the team website, Mike Singletary's title is head coach: Link.Defensive coordinator is a demotion in my book.
Doubt that'll happen but he probably needs 8-8 or 7-9 with a win over the Steelers to come back netx year. A part of me hopes we fall short so he is shown the door, but I just can't root against us.
This all just your own personal speculation, right? Is there a link anywhere confirming any of this? Last I read was that Holmgren has repeatedly said that next year is a "sabbatical" year for him.azcards34 said:
sabbatical from coaching
he has stated on numerous occassions that he would be open to a front office position
Crennel has made terrible decision after terrible decision after terrible decision. He has no idea how to manage a game, his team always looks unprepared and his personnel decisions are awful. It was pretty clear that he was not the one that made the decision to go to Quinn even though everyone could see that it's what needed to be done. He's supposed to be a defensive genius and yet the defensive is awful. He's an atrocious Head Coach. If the Niners hire him to be their HC, then they deserve to wallow in their mediocrity.azcards34 said:
Opps, this is his fouth year!
