Kubiak watch

[GimmeTheBall!]

He loses again.

His dysfunctional team sqanders (again) a lead and losses.

I hope that when Kubiak is fired he comes to papa Jerra in Dallas.

Jason Garrett as HC
Kubiak as OC
Singletary as DC

What a great offseason that would be.

 

[NeonNinja]

I don't think Singletary would make a good DC.

I would take him for LB coach and that's it.

I don't get the Singletary love. the guy has done zip as a coach.

Dat Nguyen has a more impressive coaching resume.

Aside from his heroics in the Super Bowl (kidding), I don't get the Nguyen love, the guy has done zip as a coach.

Singletary will kick butt (as the slow and overrated Bill Bates used to say) and our defense could return to respectability.

Yeah that really worked out well in San Fran. Most or all of the players pretty much tuned that out. That old school, kick butt nonsense doesn't work very much in the NFL. You need a coach that has good assistants, stays in his lane and instills discipline and when I say discipline that doesn't mean getting in a player's face and yelling in front of cameras. That means being accountable and focused for your job as a player on and off the field. You don't have to kick butt to do that.

Seriously why can't people grasp that Singletary has never been a DC in his career and doesn't understand X's and O's to the point that he could ever be one. He has reached the pinnacle of his coaching career, from here on its LB coach or a trip to the college ranks.

this is a joke used to point out how empty the Singletary coaching legacy is.

his claim to fame is coming in and coaching a group of linebackers that had already achieved best in league status without him.

If JG is HC, we need an executive DC who not only calls plays and inspires the players, but who also watches film and designs game plans. Singletary is not that guy.

I agree. In some ways his career reminds me of Bart Starr. Great player and winner but not as a HC. Being a great player does not make a person a great coach or coordinator.

 

[jobberone]

I don't see how anyone who is an ordinary fan can possibly know whether Singletary is an X and O type of guy or not. Why wouldn't he know defenses? Having said that he's never been in a 3-4 defense. Why not get someone who knows the 3-4?

I don't disagree but as HC he has to be the one who holds players accountable no matter what position they play and needs to stay in tune with what is going on, on the other side of the ball

Yes, you are correct.
Was that you praising Wade for his knowledge of X's and O's when a grinning Jerra introduced us to the cupcake?

Singletary has paid his dues on the field and in coaching. A bad bunch in 3communist Park should not exclude him from serious consideration as a DC. Forget that he played on a winning SB team or that he was a smash in 49er land his first year.
To imply he does not know X's and O's is elitist and exclusionary.
but athletes like Singletary know that the NFL, like corporate America, is hard to get into because of the good old boy mentality.


Maybe that is why the NFL is like 75% black when it comes to players and 15% when it comes to coaching and 0% when it comes to ownership.

You either missed Bates in his prime, or are not viewing him in the proper context. Bates was not a high quality starting safety by any stretch, but he was an animal in nickle packages and special teams. That's the context in which he should be viewed, and in that context he was truly special.

Being a great player does not make you a great coach. I don't doubt he understand the x's and o's

People are focused on his name. He was a hall of famer as a player but that doesn't always translate over to coaching. We definitely could use a "hardass" mentality but he takes it way too far. As someone else said, the players tune him out. His style doesn't work in today's NFL.

 

[hutch1254]

Change the Singletary title from DC to Motivator / Star Defender. Have him on the sideline to blast any fool who dances on the star.

Seriously though...DC...Dick Lebeau coaching tree.

i am on your boat.......I'd love to see MS as The DC of Dallas.....and anyone saying he doesn't know X's and O's.....come on now, thats ridiculous.........

and even more then his "X's and O's"...is his experience as a SB winner.....and knowing what it takes...on and off a football field to win one!

I really don't get this premise that if a coach does not work with a 3-4 he will NEVER work with a 3-4.
That's like telling a CEO that because he he runs a company based on 45-S securities that he will never be able to take over a company that trades with varied negotiables.

Give Singletary some credit. The man, like others, can adapt and excel.
But I guess there are too many retreads out there who know Jerra or Dan Reeves and who want to get into coaching, so we automatically weed out those who traditionally have been excluded anyway.



This anti-Singletary thing is so disappointing.

I love Mike Singletary. But why not get someone who is already intimately familiar with the 3-4? There has to be a learning curve in any new scheme. I'm for getting Capers if possible or someone from the Lebeau tree.

there isnt a learning curve that you think there is.......Its not all that different to coach for NFL coaches........To think one of the best Def players ever, and a man that has been coaching in the NFL for a few years would require a 'learning curve" is kind of silly.
