Mike Singletary Fired

I heard a lot of it had to do with getting into the faces of offensive players on the sidelines during games and not keeping his cool. It's fine to be fiery and act like a maniac when you're a middle linebacker. But not as a head coach.

Really? Have you ever seen the sideline blow-ups between Bill Parcells and Phil Simms? I don't see how those are any different. If he was winning, they wouldn't care if he yelled or not. And the reason they're not winning is because they traded the only QB who's been consistently winning for them.

Compared to what or whom exactly? Because honestly, that's a stupid question to ask. Considering those who were interested and qualified to be head coach this season, and compared to what we had last season, yes Shanahan clearly gives the Redskins the best chance to win. He has the experience and the Super Bowl rings to prove it. He was only out of the game for one season and don't give me the "game has passed him by" line because the game is not going to pass a coach by who was only out of coaching for one season. That, is the most absurd thought anybody could ever form in his/her head.

And furthermore, I would suggest that anybody who wants to change coaches every season is taking some serious drugs, because that very thing is what has caused this team to be the laughing stock of the NFL for over a decade now. If this is what you want, you don't know football.

I am not sure if you have noticed that in the past 10 years, the nfl has become more a business regarding if the product is not selling you must take it off the shelf. When players dont produce they are let go, and the same goes for coaching staffs. I totally feel that Snyder has and is doing everything possible to build a championship organization. We as fans can argue on forums like this all day, but at the end of the day. You will take any action that the owner decides is best for his organization. :Smoker:

Can you name the Super Bowl winning coaches who weren't allowed to stew for at least a couple years? You can only be so impatient with nature before it bites you in the ass.

Mike Singletary was a GREAT player.

GREAT player does not necessarily translate into great coach. In fact, the number of GREAT players who turned out to be GREAT coaches also is pretty small.

Mike Singletary was hired to be a head coach long before he had had the coaching experiences to prepare him for that job.

Maybe the next team that hires him as a head coach - - in 3-4 years? - - will get themselves a really good head coach. Time will tell...

Yes, really. Apparently it went further than the normal blowups you see between players and coaches. There's always some of that to a degree.

Now -- you could still be right, if Singletary decided to get rid of the wrong guy, then certainly that had to have been a factor in his dismissal.

Yea and Weis is rumored to go to UF as Off Coord

And I'm not sure you have noticed but replacing the coach every year to two years has not made the Washington Redskins successful. The idea that you keep switching the system if it doesn't work in the first year is about as foolish as lighting a cigarette while being drenched with gasoline.

Things have gotten softer. You're talking 20+ years ago when Gibbs would be fiery, at least in the locker room. With continuous sports coverage and additional media outlets it's a lot bigger of a ego hit to players now, whether that's soft or not.

The Texans with a formidable defense huh? That could be scary. I guess that they'll keep Kubiak?
