Defensive coordinator

Singletary was fired tonight by the 49ers, he should be on the list of guys interviewed for the DC job.

But after today's loss, we maybe looking for a head coach and an all new staff.

Singletary's defense struggled in his time as a Head coach and he was never a DC prior to that. He was a good LB coach and motivator but has never shown any X and O ability as an NFL coach.

He is not my top choice, but he is on the list.

I just think it is telling that he has never been a DC before. He is a great position coach/motivator from all accounts. But the problem I heard about in his time in SF was the inability to gameplan. He has just never shown any X and O knowledge which is almost 100% of being a DC. If we were to hire him as a DC, what qualifications would we be hiring him based on?

My guess is that he lands as a college head coach where his overall football tough guy mindset helps him to be a skillful recruiter and motivator, while the scheme side of things is not as sharp as the NFL.

The dud is certifiably nuts IMO, so no for any sort of coaching job.

I saw Singletary in person once, he was right in front of me going thru the metal detector at a small airport (Springfield, Mo). The guys appearance really surprised me. He was very dapperly dressed, sporting a pandora hat and a dark-colored suit & top coat. I'm under 6 feet, and he was actually shorter than me, and he's not broad or thick in appearance either. He just politley smiled at the security guard, me, others in the area and was just very pleasant. From watching him back in his NFL days with the Bears and seeing him coach in recent years, talk about your Jekylls and Hydes.

There is no such thing as Co-Head coaches is there? Too bad in our case. Kubiak is a good OC, sucks as a HC. Singletary, Phillips, et al., are excellent DC's, suck as head coach. Now if we could just combine the two, but Naaahhh, that would never happen.

Mangini is now available for DC........

The way I see it, Wade Philips is the favorite, but don't rule out John Fox, Marvin Lewis, Mike Singletary or (god forbid) Eric Mangini.

Looks like we can scratch Marvin Lewis off the list.....PFT is reporting that he is staying in Cincy
