Mike Singletary is making his presence known in the San Francisco 49ers camp as the new head coach. It seems that finally someone with some foresight, morals, and integrity is taking hold of that team and I believe will turn them around.In addition to taking J.T. O'Sullivan out of the game despite the wishes of offensive coordinator Mike Martz, he laid the law down for Vernon Davis who, after making an 8 yard reception, got into an argument with a Seahwaks player which resulted in Davis slapping the other player's facemask.
Singletary went insane on the sideline. His interpretation was that by his action, Davis had put himself and his antics in front of the good of the team.
O'Sullivan, who had been told by Singletary early in the week just to manage the game, was obviously not managing the game, and after a really bad pick that was run back for a touchdown, Singletary had enough. He told Martz he didn't care what his opinion was, but that he was the boss and he was taking JTO out of the game.
It is refreshing, by God, to see someone stand up and do the right thing. It is incredibly frustrating for me, an average fan, to see the outright ignorance in behavior by players who think they are above reproach.
Singletary sends a great message...the 49ers have standards..at least with Singletary, they will have them NOW. Keep on keeping on Mike!
