Source: Owners 'Grumble' About 49ers' Coaching
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Following the 49ers' sixth loss in seven games to open the season, John and Jed York privately expressed displeasure about the team's coaching to their "inner circle," a team source told Comcast SportsNet on Sunday.
"There were some grumbles from the owners about bad coaching," the source said.
Coach Mike Singletary was signed to a four-year contract after guiding the 49ers to a 5-4 finish in 2008 as the interim coach. But the 49ers went 8-8 last year, and are off to a 1-6 start this season.
Team president Jed York, the son of owner John York, declared the 49ers would still win the NFC West even after the club lost its first five games of the season.
York told CSN Bay Area on Oct. 11 that he had not addressed Singletary's job security inside the organization. When asked if he is committed to Singletary as coach for the remainder of the season, York answered, "Mike's our coach."
Following York's guarantee, the 49ers broke through with a 17-9 victory over the Raiders.
But the 49ers, a consensus preseason pick to win the NFC West this season, fell to 1-6 on Sunday with a 23-20 loss to the previously winless Carolina Panthers. The Seattle Seahawks lead the division with a 4-2 record.
The Yorks spoke to those close to them as the team departed Charlotte en route to London, where the 49ers are schedule to play the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium next week.
The 49ers struggled in every phase of the game Sunday, and again had a number of crucial breakdowns. The Panthers, who entered with the NFL's last-ranked offense, out-gained the 49ers 379 yards to 282.
When asked after the game if the 49ers are simply not a very good team, Singletary answered, "There's no doubt in my mind, somehow, someway, we will regroup and we will keep fighting and we will make a season of it. And I still believe we can go to the playoffs. I still believe we can get those things done. We just have to get the right things in place and go from there."

Well the owners are "grumbling" about the coaching whatever teh fuck that means. 9ers bout to play in another time zone again, and you know how well they play in other time zones. Broncos could take out their anger with their passing attack and with the 9ers weak 2ndary it doesn't look too good right now.
