Mike Singletary and Shaun Hill appear determined to forge a different kind of relationship than that of predecessors Mike Nolan and Alex Smith. That bond proved ruinous, with Nolan misreading Smith’s shoulder injury and the abandoned Smith turning to the media to say, in essence, that his…

Let’s see if has taken Mike Singletary only four games to give rookie Chilo Rachal the chance to start. Where as Mike Nolan would have waited three years.
Tags: Chilo Rachal, Dallas Cowboys, Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary, National Football League, Tony Wragge Can Mike Singletary conduct a non-eventful press gathering? Today the answer is a resounding yes. Singletary’s comments were relatively short after recording his first win of his head-coaching career on Sunday after beating the Rams 35-16.
Previous coach Mike Nolan would grant players the…

Finally someone to clear up the confusion about what happened in the final seconds Monday night. That person? Recently fired coach Mike Nolan, who apparently had a phone conversation with Mike Martz this morning. Nolan, Martz insists, was the first…

However, I thought I’d post the results, and also throw out some of my own thoughts on studs and duds. I encourage everyone else to let us know your thoughts.
I’d probably have given the best …
Talk around Ninerland is what will the 49ers do at the quarterback position next season. They will most likely draft a QB sometime in the draft, but I’m going to go out on a limb right now and say that Alex Smith will be a 49er next season and he most likely will be the starting QB.

Could this man actually be a 49er in 2009? Since Alex Smith first was put on injured reserve, heck since J.T. O’Sullivan first started getting snaps with the #1 offense in training camp, the question has been when, not if, Alex Smith would end up somewhere else in 2009.
At the time, the thinking was, he’s scheduled to make a ton of …
A bye week is certainly useful for rejuvenating the team. However, it can also be rejuvenating for the fans. For 49ers fans, it’s been a rough season so far and an opportunity to recharge the batteries has to be a good thing. We were able to watch all sorts of football with no real rooting interests (aside from fantasy football and the prediction contest).

SANTA CLARA – Mike Singletary has said he would stick to the foundation Mike Nolan built in San Francisco, but the new coach hasn’t been afraid to use some of the players Nolan kept on the sideline.The most prominent player in that category, of course, is quarterback Shaun Hill, who will start the 49ers’ Nov. 10 game at Arizona. Hill has appeared in five games …

SANTA CLARA – Mike Singletary said that, like all teams, the 49ers have their share of cancers – players who, in Singletary’s words, “eat at your team until they eat the very soul of your team.” But make no mistake, Singletary said Monday, Vernon Davis is not one of them.A day after becoming so frustrated with Davis that he sent the tight end to the …

It’s somewhat faint but definitely audible; those 49er fans who rallied against the firing of former head coach Mike Nolan last week and were even more adamant that the interim head coach should not be Mike Singletary. They’re calling for Singletary’s head already, after one loss. A loss in which the [...]
