Why would San Fran let us take Singletary as DC

Speculation saying we may hire Singletary as D Coord. may be premature, even if we want to hire him, the 49ers can block the move. If he is such a hot commodity as people are saying why would they let us take him?

Tell me why they are interviewing DC's? Assistant HC/LB coach isn't as good as being a DC. I think this hjas been in the works for awhile. Mike Nolan brought Singletary with him, and if Mike said I want to go home...I think he might let him.

If Singletary is such a hot up and comer in the coaching ranks, why let him leave if they dont have to?

It is the same situation as Garrett.

They don't have to let him go, but if their actions speak to their feelings, they won't stand in his way.

maybe they dont think he's an up and comer...or maybe they feel he just isnt a defensive coordinator, or maybe his philosophy of what he wants to do and Nolan wants to do are two different things...who knows

I guess if a low level coach says they would like to be some where else there isn't much sense in stopping them.

Alexander is right, it's a professional courtesy. (Unless you're Parcells, and you block Sparano from going to the Saints last year) I am a little bothered as to why Nolan hasn't promoted him to DC. Obviously thinks he isn't ready yet-he's about as inexperienced as Garrett if you think about it.

Not sure I would take him ad HC and be happy with that! Love his intensity! I followed him since his days at Baylor.

It is more frightening that Nolan has interviewed people like Dave Campo and Greg Manusky, and has passed over a coach who has the title of assistant head coach and has been around for two seasons.

It does make you wonder.

But Sparano received a promotion here and took on a more or less OC role. That's not happening with Singletary in San Francisco.

Well sounds like we are giving him a shot at Head Coach.

49er fans are under the assumption that Nolan wants someone at DC that will be in that job for more than 1-2 years. They seem to think its common knowledge that Singletary will leave for a HC job sooner than Nolan would like his new Dc to leave.

Personally people dont think Singletary is a very good X's and O's guy so I hope he stays away from our defense.

If you cant put together a smart game plan than your worthless. Teaching a position is one thing but Calling a defense is another.

I dont like the idea of him as the DC. I'd rather go with Bowles out of those 2.

On their message board they are claiming that Nolan actually said that. Who knows..I haven't seen a quote.

Thats just been the word floating around.

Only person off the top of my head I can remember saying it was Ditka but I remember others saying it too but cant remember who it was.

Probably also the reason the job hasnt been given to him in San Fran because the way the guy motivates you think it would be his job but evidently it isnt.

Jason garrett has no experience calling plays but that's OK. But one of the Best Middle LBs in history doesn't know how to call a defense:bang2: u don't become great MLB not been the captian on the best defense ever
