why the fuck do you get mad when the media asks you a question about an article that was written about your team that was pretty big news?

it seems like he's trying to cover up the fact that there was issues getting the play to the offense... and aren't they moving Raye down on the field? why would they do that if there was no issue?

this guy needs to learn that as a head coach of a football team in the NFL the media is gonna ask you about things you might not wanna talk about... why couldn't he just say "the article was not true" and keep it movin... instead of getting all mad at a guy for doing his job

I remember he did the same shit to someone on KNBR when there was rumors about them going after Kurt Warner last off season

then he says "we WILL stop the Saints" and "we WILL move the ball" and says he doesn't think they don't have to prover anything... I dunno... I get being confident in your team... but dude comes off like an arrogant prick trying too much to be a hard ass

and this has nothing to do with me being a Raiders fan wanting to talk shit about the Niners, because I like Singletary... but he needs to calm the fuck down

He has class and I respect the fact that he is a HOF player, but I'm starting to think he might not be cut out for coaching.

He is making a complete and utter ass of himself and the organization in a very public way.

He better pray the niners are competitive against N.O because the media smells blood and he already has shown he can't remain cool under the spotlight.

There was a real unflattering story about him in the paper today.

Shit our media is nothing compared to other markets. He wouldn't stand a chance if he can't handle it here.

I think it's because he was bombarded with tons of questions about the yahoo article at his earlier press conference and didn't want to talk about it anymore. lol Sing went off on him tho.

this is why he went off.

although he could of went about it a bit better, 'I'm done with that subject, let's talk about NO' in a calmer voice and left it at that till he got questions about NO.

He's starting to piss off a lot of Niner fans and a lot of us are kinda hoping he gets canned and we go after Jim Harbaugh. If he doesn't do something about the issues with Raye, then he needs to go. Plain and simple. This team has talent and can play good football. It's the coaching that's holding them back right now. Not so much Singletary, but Raye. Not that it matters because Singletary is ultimately the issue because he continues to stick with Raye.

look at about the 55sec - 1min mark, the second the dude says jimmy rayes name single tary leans back a little and crosses his arms. hes closing himself off to the question before it even gets out, its blatant negative body language

raye and singletary have problems

i already told 9er fans i had big questions about him as the coach, of course i got flamed since he got off to a pretty good start...in my 22 years of being on this earth i dont want a LEADER going off in 1 direction emotionally, being that up or down, QBs and Coaches, the most widely appreciated and most influential do not wear thier emotions on thier sleeves...

how can someone look up to you when your getting into an argue match with a reporter? leave that to the player that had the holding call at the end of the game or the linebacker that missed the important tackle...if your a leader accept defeat, move on and prepare yourself for the next battle, all the lil dumb shit adds up and gets in the mindset of not just you, but the people you are leading

Our problem is the QB position. Mike is a good coach and a master motivator. He turn a group of wimps into a fighting clan in a short amount of time. Our w/l column may not be the best but people know when we are on their schedule Mike will have his team ready.

The ALEX SMITH era must end for us to get to the next level.

raye and singletary have problems
by crossing his arms he is being defensive.

this was his reaction because he knew the question was comming that he had been asked all day.

^Comes with the territory of being a head coach.... I didn't see anything wrong with the questions that were being asked. If he already answered them, then answer them again. He came off rude and seemed pretty unstable.

The thing is, he has been an emotional guy since day one at the niners. And for the most part it has worked, look what he did with Davis as a prime example. Same thing he will do with crabtree if he veers off to the way of a diva. No doubting he has made this team better than the previous coach, you can go off his record as a head coach 13-13.

I don't think there is only one way to coach a team in any sport.

and don't forget, it's only been one game..

plus the media love to get a rise out of people, they will antagonize anyone till their breaking point, even if they seem calm.

So do I think Sing is a bad coach? no. Do I think he needs to handle the media better? who gives a fuck really, so long as he has the locker room that is all that matters.
