the espn reporter made this statement today on espn's nfl live today.the 49ers have a bye after next weeks game,and he says that coach mike nolan will be fired,and mike singletary who coaches the 49ers defense will be interum coach the rest of the season.not really shocking cause the 49ers stink!
Singletary was one scary SOB on the field

Shocking. Nolan did such a good job with our defense.

Anyone find a link? Or is this just a "hear-say" situation?

IF this is true, good for Mike. He deserves a shot.

The Niners suck and this may be true.
It seems a little difficult to believe right now, though. You either fire a coach or you don't. You don't announce that you will fire your coach "next week," even if you are thinking that. If everyone knows he is a lame duck then the whole squad will tank this week. The fact that this all comes from an unnamed "source" makes it especially fishy.

It makes sense when you look at their schedule. They have a bye coming up after this week.
