The 49ers announced after their 27-24 victory over the Redskins that Mike Singletary will remain . . .

[SmithL]

Mike Singletary is a class act.

[SmithL]

fyi

Smart move by the 49’ers. He interviewed for the Falcon’s job when they hired Petrino and they say Singletary was very impressive. As a player he was definately Mr. Intensity.

[Cyber Ninja]

Good, I like Mike. Mr. Peripheral Vision.

[PurpleMan]

So, if you hire an A-A coach you don’t have to interview anyone else? Appears so.

[Ron Jeremy]

Since this is a new football thread, let me take this opportunity to predict an all-Manning superbowl. The Giants are the best team in the NFC, and the Colts are the best team in the AFC.

Smart move Niners. Watch out for them next year.

[dfwgator]

The AFC playoff teams just dodged a bullet with the Patriots missing out. They would have been tough in the post-season.

Niners vs Raiders in 2010 Super Bowel!

The Raiders would have to win a game. They aren't up to the challenge. . .

Unfortunate 'Frisco-related typso there.

He was interim coach for 9 games. There was no reason to look at anyone else.

[Hugin]

No. If you hire a coach who turns a losing team into a winning team you don’t have to interview anyone else.

If Singletary was white, they would have had a conniption for not interviewing a black

[al baby]

Im glad he is sober god bless him

[scott says]

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list

[exist]

That’s actually the rule. But in the rule they say “minority” instead of “African-American” but yep, you got that bout right. If he were white they would have, by rule, had to interview minority candidates.

[EDINVA]

I’ve looked forward to an all-Manning SB for the past few years. It would be great if you are right.

[cleveland gop]

Good move by an up and coming team. Look for a little competition in the NFC West next year for sure!!!

I guess Vernon Davis learned his lesson. That team didn’t lie down for Mike.

Meanwhile in Cleveland, a total mess. Savage gone, Crennel gone tomorrow and that laughter you hear is coming from the Ravens offices and Art Modell’s home.

Before anyone crowns an all Manning SB, that Ravens D is playing as well as it did in 2000, and now there is an offense that can put up enough points,too. And don’t think for 1 second Carolina doesn’t want another shot at the G-Men either. When that happens, they will win that one.
