Mike Singletary

[Bleu Star]

Poor argument Bleu. The first time Columbus landed on Plymouth rock no one wrote: "FIRST WHITE GUY LANDS ON PLYMOUTH ROCK".

Then you fail to see my point. Was he the first "person" every to do such a thing? (based upon our history books)

That is my point. The first to do anything of any historical significance usually gets some recognition.

I could care less if we hire a coach whos purple with yellow spots, as long as he wins.

If he's that color he must be sick good.

Again, you make no point.

Neither Dungy nor Smith will be the first "Person" to win a superbowl.


Their human beings, no different then any other human beings.

when you brush off significant moments in history as nothing you tend to do so because you don't want to recognize them as such. Hmm...

Very sad indeed that posts such as yours incite separation in color of mankind by indentifying the first (fill in the blank here______________). The day we dont put the word black or white or any other color of race in the title, we are one step closer to acting equal in every area.

Right, if he is not good enough, then we don't want him as a DC or HC.

Your alone in this one WV. At this point, you don't know if he's good or not. I'm simply saying Rosh brought a level headed point or two to the table. Refreshingly, it was not a point located at the top of ones head and that two is a good thing.

Bigoted idiotic comments aside, here's is what bothers me about Singletary.

He's currently LB coach coach for the 49ers, who are interviewing Dave Campo this week for their defensive coordinator. If Singletary was a great coach, why wouldn't they promote him to the position? Mike Nolan worked with him in Baltimore, he knows what he's about. They fired their previous DC in midseason, and didn't even name Singletary as interim.

If his name was John Doe assistant coach with the same resume, nobody would even be talking about him.

While I agree with you (name value plays a big role in the NFL-just look at Eli), just to play devils advocate.

You could say that, why would an owner interview Rob Ryan since even the Raiders aren't interested in promoting him? He seems to be the most logical choice, and yet the Raiders are interviewing wide receiver coaches instead...of course, we all knew Davis is a nut and that it is obviously a situation in which other factors are preventing Ryan from being hired. My point being, who's to say the Niners actually know what they're doing in not promoting Singletary? I mean, they hired Erikson a few years back!

Dungy and Smith are the first two back head coaches to ever play each other in the Super Bowl. Minutes before Dungy stepped foot on the field for the AFC Championship Smith became known for being the first black coach to ever coach in a Super Bowl. These are historic moments in NFL history whether you like it or not. Carry on.

 

[Next_years_Champs]

uhmm ok.

The first time Christpoher Columbus landed on Plymouth Rock no one wrote about that either right. It was just some guy in a ship hitting an obstacle that was in his way. No biggie. While we're at it who needs to be taught history in class? That's all a waste of money. That money would be better appropriated elsewhere. Who the ^&#$%^ needs History class???

Evidently the history lessons were wasted since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, not Christopher Columbus.

So you dispute the facts?

My god you're ignorant.


Do you think black people are lesser then white people in any way? You must think so if you think it's an accomplishment that Smith/Dungy will win a superbowl. They're human beings. The color of our skin only separates us because ignorant people like YOU make it that way.


The point is people should be viewed as people regardless of the color of their skin or the country they were born in.

 

[Route 66]

What do you mean what difference does it make? Lovie and Dungy's race is the reason why it's history! That's why we're talking about it! Because this history is only history because it hasn't happened before!

If Steve Nash was the first white guy to get back to back MVPs (obviously the answer is no), I would hope that they wouldn't bring the fact in that he was white if he was the first. It goes both ways. You know as well as I do that its not just that simple that history dictates they were the first. All the media is doing is selling the story that blacks are coming around blah blah blah. The quarterback position is now being filled by black people. Who cares? This isn't a Crayola world unless people make it out to be.

Why dont you write a record book then of every first person of every race who did their thing first. It should be accomplished according to the first man to ................ not the first Black or White or whatever color. The minute someone brings the word black or white into a record creates separation.

I guess History is of some importance. Thanks for proving my point.

It is a moment in history. Why are you all wound up about it? i'm not.

I didn't say I knew.

I said if he is not a good coach then we don't want him, I don't think I am alone on that one but I might be wrong .

 

[Bleu Star]

You looked that up and replied.

lol-you screw up a post and get corrected and then they proved your point?

Correct. History is of some importance. Otherwise you would have all been content with my statement.

Singletary IMO isnt ready for a HC job but I hope somebody gives him the nod one of these days. I guess I dont want the Cowboys to gamble just yet on him, but I do remember his eyes on the field scanning the other team at the line of scrimmage. Talk about intensity that he brought every down!

Because Al Davis loves offensive head coaches. He's not going to hire a defensive coach if its Vince Lombardi.

Mike Nolan is a career defensive coordinator who knows defenses and has coached with Singletary in two different stints. He doesn't think he's ready to be a coordinator. But he's ready to be a head coach? There is a reason why great players often don't become great coaches ... they don't have the organizational skills, the teaching skills or the attention to detail necessary for the job. Head Coach, in essence, is like any other management position. These are necessary requirements. Its not about half time speeches.
