The Press Democrat has generously upgraded our blog platform and put us on a level with the great Matt Maiocco. From now on check out my wise guy UCLA son Iggy and me by clicking http://blog.pressdemocrat.com/cohn. We promise to be pertinent all the time and impertinent most of the time.-- [...]
There was a moment at his introductory press conference when Mike Singletary got going. He used to be a motivational speaker and now he was on a roll.He was saying how Mike Nolan had built the foundation for the team and as Singletary's voice rose, he intoned, "You take a [...]
J.T. O'Sullivan will not do. He is a backup quarterback masquerading as a starter. The 49er coach next season -- whoever he is -- must have a new starting QB. Iggy suggests Matt Cassell of the Patriots. This, to me, is a heck of a suggestion.Monday night against Denver Cassell [...]
Readers of the Cohn Zohn tell me I'm too hard on the 49ers. Here's a reality check. I am not a fan. I tell the truth as I understand it. And what I understand after today's weird, rambling inconclusive news conference introducing Mike Singletary is that the Niners don't have [...]

All good luck to Mike Singletary and if he is wildly successful the Niners should put him in a pool of names to compete for the head coach job next season. I doubt he will succeed but he deserves the chance.I am reading Pete Carroll is a secret aspirant to [...]
At 10:30 p.m. someone from the 49ers finally called me to officially say Mike Nolan got fired and Mike Singletary is interim head coach. There's a press conference noon on Tuesday introducing Singletary.The press conference will be interesting. Scot McCloughan will say what a great guy Nolan is and how [...]
OK, two reliable news agencies are reporting it now. Mike Nolan is out. The Niners fired him this afternoon after, curiously, allowing him to conduct his weekly news conference during which he got grilled by the media. No one ever said football owners have a heart.Does Nolan deserve to get [...]
Here is a selection of dialogue from what is probably Mike Nolan' final Monday press conference. To my way of thinking he over-rates J.T. O'Sullivan and makes excuses for him. He does not even consider starting Shaun Hill. He confronts the fact that he may lose his job. Some say [...]
