Mike Singletary out at San Francisco Mike Sando [ARCHIVE] ESPN.com December 26, 2010 Comment on this story
ST. LOUIS -- The San Francisco 49ers' eighth consecutive season without a playoff appearance has cost Mike Singletary his job as the team's head coach.
The 49ers announced the firing Sunday night after the team returned to its headquarters following a 25-17 defeat to the St. Louis Rams earlier in the day.
The defeat eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention, marking their eighth consecutive year without a postseason appearance. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula will coach the team's game against Arizona in at Candlestick Park in Week 17.
Singletary, 52, went 5-10 this season and 8-8 in 2009, his first as head coach in full. He posted a 5-4 record as interim coach after the team fired Mike Nolan during the 2008 season.
Team president Jed York told reporters after the 49ers' loss Sunday that the team would hire a general manager.

I know at the lower levels a good coach makes all the difference, and I'm it sure at the pro level coaches influence a team, but you cannot put 100% of the blame from a losing season on a head coach. They can only do so much, when comes down to it players need to make plays and be consistent and that's something sf just cant get going right now. They have a ton of individual talent, but fail to make things happen as a "team". And that's how play offs are made which leads to putting rings on the fingers. Just my opinion on the matter.

I'll agree that the coach can't be the whole problem but Singletary was 90 percent of the problem. He simply couldn't coach and had no game plans that worked what so ever. They have the talent right now to be a playoff caliber team, they just need a coach to utilize it.

+1 When your players aren't doing things that should be automatic [example: Last weeks game.....On defence. When a wide reciever catches a ball, when he falls down you still need to put hands on him when he's down. Not get upset you didn't make the play and "Tap" his helmet AFTER he's up!!!!! ]
Simple stuff like that can cost you a game. It's the coaches fault when your players can't do the simple things right.
