Evaluating Mike Singletary as an NFL head coach

Train wreck. As much as I hate to say it, he is a complete train wreck of a coach.

Did you catch the end of MNF? An unmitigated disaster, and then he capped it off by throwing Mike Martz under the bus in the post-game press conference - I can't recall the last time I saw an NFL head coach deflect blame from himself and put it on someone else, no matter who was at fault.

Martz's rationale for making the call was that he thought the ball was going to be on the one yard line, but that after the officials reviewed the prior play, the ball was on the two and a half and that the clock would start on the ref's whistle. Well, "Mad Scientist"...why didn't you scream into Shaun Hill's ear (Earth to Mike Martz, Earth to Mike Martz - the QB can hear you when you talk into the that thing in front of your mouth that looks like a microphone) to spike the ball, then you could have called the right play for the situation?

The question is - was that the problem, or was it the personnel package? Where was Frank Gore? On the sidelines. Who was carrying the rock? Michael Robinson, who is Singletary's guy. How can I say that?

Well, he has carried the ball six times this year. Three in each of the two games that Samurai Mike has "coached".

It's too bad, I loved him as a player and I admire his sensibilities, but he is done. I imagine they'll let him finish the season, because I can't see a franchise having three head coaches in one season. However, I will be shocked if anybody ever gives him another head coaching job.

The ironical thing is, no matter how terribly he performs, I bet it'll double his motivational speaker fees; he can now be billed as a former NFL head coach.
