Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Now that we need a new ILB coach I think Mike Singletary would make a great addition to our staff. Really didn't like him as a head coach but I think he could instill some fire and nastiness which we haven't had since Shane Conlan (are you listening Poz).

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 MS needs to simmer down some. Personally, I think he would be a great college coach. His intensity is more suited for college kids than the pros IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Smith's Arm Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 guys don't often (if ever) go from head coach to position coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 guys don't often (if ever) go from head coach to position coach. It's not common, that's for sure. Oddly enough, the most recent person to do so is Dick Jauron who is defensive backs coach for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Singletary is interviewing with the Vikings for a LBing coach position. He has an association with the HC, Frazier, from their Chicago playing days. When the Ravens had an opening they interviewed Singletary for the HC position. They ultimately decided to hire Harbaugh, which turned out to be a good decision. The organization felt that Sigletary was too hardnosed and inflexible to deal with today's type of player. They were wise in their assessment.

Maddog69 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 guys don't often (if ever) go from head coach to position coach. I disagree. This happens all the time. Jauron,Crennel, Weis, Mularkey, Wade Phillips, Greg Williams, Mike Nolan, Jim Fassel, Jim Haslett. Just to name a few. The league is littered with guys with head coaching experience.

Beerball Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 guys don't often (if ever) go from head coach to position coach. Mike Mularkey went from HC of the Bills to OC in Miami to TE coach & then to OC in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Was singletary ever a DC? If so very short lived. I think he also was the rare position coach to jump to head. I don't believe he was. Singletary was not known for his sophisticated and well rounded approach. There was little nuance to him for a HCing position which requires a lot of nuance. He made a very lucrative living as a fire and brimstone motivational speaker. The Ravens, a very smart organization with one of the most accomplished GMs in the game, Ozzie Newsome, recognized that he didn't have the full complement of attributes necessary to be a successful HC. Smart organizations make smart decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
