Developing a Great Team
Teamwork has been the cornerstone of Mike Singletary’s career. Team captain for the NFL’s Chicago Bears for ten years, Singletary worked with management and the players to help them understand each other’s perspectives, appreciate their differences, and to work together as a successful organization. Drawing on this experience and his work as linebacker’s coach for the Baltimore Ravens, Singletary explores the key components of developing and sustaining a great team: effective communication, trust, shedding egos, sharing a vision, understanding expectations, and commitment to the team’s goals. He shares the valuable lessons he has learned on the road to success and offers practical steps that can be put to use immediately, in every area of life.

America - A Great Country
In this moving and motivational presentation, Mike Singletary speaks about what makes America stand apart from every other country in history and looks at how we will prevail over today’s challenges. The last few years have been difficult for our nation, but America endured times like this before. He talks about the strength of our citizens, history and traditions, and how we have pulled together as a nation to overcome great hardship, times of war, economic uncertainty and seemingly insurmountable challenges. Adversity strengthens us; it is the core of who we are as Americans.

we need this guy, not step on me Norv Turner

I admit the more I read on Singletary the more impressed I get. He seems like a man who really has his act together and has a clear view on where he wants to go. I can understand why he was with Jerry as long as he was during the interview.

Can we morph Singletary's personality and Norv's offensive experience together and hire Singlenorv? :D

The fact is Norv isn't the answer and there are also valid question marks about every other candidate.

I do agree that a candidate's ability to get individuals to reach their highest potential and work together for the common goal of winning a championship is a tremendous asset that I would LOVE for our HC to possess.

That being said, it's tough for any individual to succeed when they are getting OTJ experience of being a HC in the withering spotlight of America's Team.

The main reason I like Singletary is his leadership and motivational characteristics.

If he can motivate the talent on our team and keep them positive, I think we could succeed with Bowles as our DC. I am not an advocate of him, I would rather see us hire a LB guy like Manusky to be the DC in that case ( I think that (LB's) is definately our weakest spot).

But I think these guys need a big kick in the butt and someone getting them moving to be "winners" and not the underacheivers that they currenly are!

I'm on board with him, but only if he wears those glasses. Those lenses were so thick he could see into the future. Maybe that will shorten his learning curve and turn him into a viable coach a few years quicker.

If he was morphed, I think his name would be Norvalfairy....
