Why Is Mike Singletary Not Our Coach?

Let it be said that I like Lovie Smith, but after seeing this clip, I love Mike Singletary. Most of us know Samuri Mike from his standout career as the Hall of Fame middle linebacker that anchored the 1985 Super Bowl Champion Chicago Bears. Singletary has always been a fan favorite and in the last few years, he has been mentioned as the next former player that will be a great coach. During Sunday's game, Singletary told tight end Vernon Davis to head to the showers after he committed a personal foul penalty for smacking an opposing player. There was still a quarter left, and Davis has to ability to be a game breaker. During his postgame press conference, Singletary responded to several questions from the press. Judging from this video, I think the assumptions of Singletary the coach will be true: 



This is exactly the type of passion every coach should have, especially pro coaches. We live in a world of prima donnas and I can only hope that this man will one day coach the Bears.

I have wanted every professional team to have a coach like this. I want to see a coach remove a player from the game every time a player yells at an umpire or picks a fight with the other team.

If this were to happen, I would again watch professional sports. Until that happens, we are only going to be watching uneducated, stuck-up little children play sports. Playing professional sports is an athletes privilege, not their right.

There aren't a whole lot of things that I'd agree with Andrew but his last statement is 100% true!!! Lovie needs to show some of those emotions that the Samurai was showing the fans of San Fran. :)
