In a wild year, yet another head coach has been fired midseason.

FOX Sports has learned that the San Franciseo 49ers have fired Mike Nolan. Nolan was informed by team brass late Monday afternoon.
It is assumed that current defensive coordinator Mike Singletary will assume Nolan's coaching duties. There were reports earlier today that Nolan would be fired after the team's next game Sunday against Seattle, but ownership instead decided not to wait.

Nolan was in the midst of his fourth season in San Francisco and leaves with an 18-37 record. The 49ers appeared to have hope after a 7-9 season in 2006, but they sank to 5-11 last season as Nolan and his former franchise quarterback Alex Smith reportedly had a falling out.

Im glad Singletary got the nod, id rather see what he can do over these 9 games remaining, and if it dont work, then maybe they will consider martz next year if theres no better candidates, we already know what martz can do, now with singletary a HOF LB with a killer instinct, the Defense should be more aggressive

^^^^

Tim Kawakami was on KNBR earlier and said that JTO is the best QB out of the ones the 9ers have right now, and that's not sayin much. Hill can't make the quick slant passes that Martz uses in his system.

But the 9ers put themselves in this situation by not getting a better QB in the offseason.

Niners fire Nolan after 2-5 start

http://blogs.nfl.com/2008/10/20/niners-fire-nolan-after-2-5-start/

The 49ers fired coach Mike Nolan on Monday, reports NFL Network’s Adam Schefter. Mike Singletary is expected to take over for the team.

In each of Nolan’s four years with the 49ers, the team opened the season 2-5. After starting with a 2-1 mark, San Francisco has dropped four straight games.

“We lost four games but at the same time, you’ve got a very strong group of players,” said Nolan when asked about his job security earlier Monday during his regular press conference. “I think that our players play hard week in and week out, that’s a sign that I think that they’re prepared. I think that the proof is in the players more than anything else. The missed opportunities and the penalties is something that we need to correct but we haven’t got a divided house.”

Nolan’s tenure as coach ends with an 18-37 record. His best finish came in 2006, when the 49ers went 7-9.

He becomes the third coach this season to get fired, joining Lane Kiffin (Raiders) and Scott Linehan (Rams).

Singletary has been the assistant head coach of the 49ers since joining the team in 2005. He was also the linebackers coach in 2005 and has spent the last three seasons working with the defense. He began his coaching career as inside linebackers coach with the Baltimore Ravens (2003-04)

Singletary was a Hall of Fame linebacker player with the Bears.
