In his presser today Mike Singletary said Alex Smith has "the stuff." I said to Singletary he seems to be wavering on whether Smith has the stuff -- I personally believe he lacks the stuff. Here is Singletary's answer: "I'll put it this way. I think when I look at [...]
You hear talk about Mike Singletary. His 0-5 start this season isn't so bad. Heck, Bill Walsh started 0-7 in 1979. Somehow this is supposed to show Singletary is a good coach. He's like Bill Walsh. Please. Walsh had a bad roster and Singletary has a good roster and still [...]
Here are some quickie Mike Singletary quotes from after the 5th loss in a row. Most of this is the usual Singletary blah blah: “We’re a pretty decent football team. It’s disappointing because we put ourselves in this situation and only we can get ourselves out. The best team we [...]
In today's column I assign plenty of blame to Mike Singletary for being an inadequate head coach -- which he sure seems to be. But I want to keep things in perspective. Sure, Singletary deserves blame -- unless he miraculously turns the season around. But by far the most blame [...]
They just posted my Tuesday column on Mike Singletary, the great communicator and motivator. I based the column on Monday's presser in which he saw all the good things that resulted from the team's 4th loss in a row. Honest. So I wonder, is he merely all talk and no [...]
Here are selected quotes from Mike Singletary’s Monday presser. My column will follow later. How did Alex Smith do? When I look at Alex’s play I thought he did a pretty decent job. Is he trying to do too much, pressing? In the one play where he threw the ball [...]
Mike Singletary is known as a player's coach. Is he? Let's keep score of the people he's lost from his team through 3 games: Glen Coffee, Kentwan Balmer and now Michael Lewis, a solid team leader. That's a lot of losing on Singletary's part. Maybe he's merely careless, misplacing people like [...]
Matt Maiocco posted an important piece this morning on CSN BayArea. He explains Mike Singletary is at the mercy of new offensive coordinator Mike Johnson. If Johnson succeeds, Singletary is OK. If Johnson fails so does Singletary and his tenure is in danger. Accordint to Matt -- and I agree [...]
I'm at the Giants game so I have to make this quick -- Giants lead Dbacks 4-1 after 6. I wrote earlier that the QB is the limit of the offense and Singletary does not understand that. I still believe that. Some Zohn readers disagree with me and point out [...]
When he spoke to the media on Wednesday Mike Singletary clearly stated his opinion -- it was more like a philosophy -- about quarterbacks. He said, "No, I don’t think I’ve ever underestimated the quarterback situation. I think the quarterback is very important. Do I think he’s the most important? [...]
