He's Back, but He Hasn't Changed
Samurai Mike, you're at it again. When i heard that Mike Singletary was going to become the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, I was super stoked. He was a madman as a player and I can't wait to see him be an amazing coach. And this Sunday he showed me why I was so excited.
Vernon Davis, the tight end for the 49ers, slapped a player from the other team in the facemask after play. This caused his team to get a fifteen yard penalty for unnecessary roughness. When Davis got over to the bench, Singletary lit into him. He showed him what was up. He sent Davis to the locker room and told him that he was going to do be better for the team in the showers than he would be on the field if he was going to play like that. I love this decision by Mike. He sent a message to the whole team that they were going to play the game his way, right. And if anybody goes against that, he doesn't have any problem sending them off the field.
After the game, Singletary went on a rant during his press conference. He completely called out Vernon Davis and his entire team. I love that in a coach. He is the boss of that team and now they know that. I love to see that fire in football. He had every right to be mad at his team, they got killed! By a horrible Seahawks team!
I hope that Mike stays there forever (unless he wants to come to the Bears of course). He's bringing the fire that he had when he won a super bowl in Chicago and he's taking it to the head coach position. I hope we see more of this. More guys that played the game with incredibly intense passion going on to lead teams. No one could do a better job than them. Start it off right Mike.

I agree with you. Players today think they're so great and it's awesome to see coaches bring them back down to earth. A guy like Singletary demands respect especially when he lets everyone know he's the boss.
