ONE OF THE GREATEST LINEBACKERS TO EVER PLAY THE GAME WAS UNABLE TO TRANSFORM HIS GREATNESS TO THE HEAD COACHING OPPORTUNITY THAT HE HAD WITH THE 49ERS. MIKE SINGLETARY GAVE IT ALL HE HAD, AND WAS UNABLE TO GET THE 49ERS TO THE PLAYOFFS, WHICH TRIGGERED HIS EXIT AS HEAD COACH WITH THE WEST COAST TEAM. THE TEAM PRESIDENT, AND CEO JED YORK, SENT A STATEMENT OUT TO THE SPORTS WORLD STATING THAT MIKE SINGLETARY WAS A GREAT PERSON, WAS A CLASS INDIVIDUAL, AND WISHED MR. SINGLETARY THE BEST IN HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS. THE LAST SEASON’S RECORD SHOWED PROMISE, WITH THE 49ERS ACHIEVING AN 8-8 RESULT FOR THE SEASON. THIS 2010 SEASON APPEARED TO BE PROMISING, WITH THE 49ERS GOING UNDEFEATED IN THE PRESEASON, BUT LOSING IT’S FIRST 5 GAMES, ONLY TO FALTER MORE AS THE SEASON PROGRESSED. SOME WOULD SAY THAT SINGLETARY WAS FORCEFUL, SOME WOULD SAY HE WAS A DISPLINARION, AND SOME WOULD SAY, HE DID THE BEST WITH WHAT HE HAD. THE TRADE FOR QUARTERBACK, TROY SMITH WAS A SHOT IN THE ARM FOR THE ORGANIZATION, BUT THEY DECIDED TO MAKE IT A 2 QUARTERBACK SITUATION JUST DIDN’T WORK, AND A DECISION ON TROY SMITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS SUCCESSFUL ENTRY WITH WINS, AS THE TEAM APPEARED TO BE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SINGLETARY’S INDECISIVENESS ON THAT OPPORTUNITY COST HIM HIS OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A POSSIBLE PLAYOFF BIRTH, AND ALSO A POSSIBLE CONTRACT EXTENTION.
MYBOYSAY NATION WOULD LIKE TO WISH BOTH, THE 49ERS, AND ALSO MIKE SINGLETARY A BRIGHT FUTURE.
