49ers President Jed York / players, on Mike Singletary

[Auggie]

From the San Francisco Chronicle, 1-4-11

... York thinks the 49ers would be in the playoffs if he'd promoted interim head coach Jim Tomsula earlier.

"Should've done it (fire Mike Singletary) sooner," York said. "We'd be playing in the playoffs right now."

Not smart to dish the outgoing coach, Jed. You need to learn how to bullshit better.

There's an interesting sidebar to the story from Tight End Vernon Davis on Singletary:

... Davis praised former head coach Mike Singletary for turning around his career, but said guys played scared before the coach was fired.

"They were more worried about coach Singletary getting on them instead of playing football," Davis said. "If you don't understand him, then you are not going to relate to him. I think that's what the problem was with most guys.

"They were scared, worried about dropping passes and missing tackles instead of just being themselves."

This is either a rationalization for sloppy play or the real deal or a little of both. Whatever, I love inside stuff like this. It explains a lot.

For making the mistake of hiring and not firing him in time.
