According to the Twitter page of 49ers' beat writer Matt Maiocco, wide receiver Michael Crabtree will stay in San Francisco and work while the rest of his teammates get away during the bye week. Coach Mike Singletary was asked why Crabtree is staying in town, and he replied that Crabtree "already had his bye week."

I love how Singletary was calling time outs at the end of the game yesterday during a 45-10 blowout because he felt his team "deserved to keep getting hit" and then made Bly come out to apologize for being such an idiot during Singletary's press conference today.

People said he would make an excellent head coach for many years but he kept getting passed by. The sad thing is, he'll be getting crucified by the media and fans alike for his coaching techniques if and when the team goes on a losing streak.

love him as a coach. the nfl needs more "old schoolers"

takes vernan davis out of a game because he wasnt trying hard enough and makes dre bly apologize for being a dumbass.

and takes his pants off during half time. guy is awesome

Why? because he called timeouts in a blowout?

No, him constantly being such a hardass. I love it. NFL players are bitches nowadays and deserve to be brought down.

However it's been shown that it doesn't work in today's league. Case in point. Tom Coughlin, hardass, giants look terrible, last year of his contract he eases up, giants bink a superbowl.

Both teams started being terrible after the 2000-2001 season.

Tom Coughlin and Mike Singletary are similar, old-school, style coaches.

Tom Coughlin had more success once he eased up a bit.

How is that the worst argument ever?

People are thinking I'm saying Singletary is a bad coach, which I'm not.

I am saying at some point he will have to ease up, or he'll burn out his players.

I would want my son to play for Mike Singletary.

That's the highest praise I can give a coach.

I may wind up looking like an ignorant asshat here because I don't really know shit about Tom Coughlin....but I would assume Mike Singletary would get a little more respect from his players as being a legitmate hardass. I mean he was the heart and soul of the '85 bears defense for fuck sake. How much harder can you get?

actually, niceguy shares the same sentiment as a sect of the Baylor fan base, who obv follows Mike's coaching career closely, as we almost hired him twice but he was asking for so much and had little experience... anyways these ppl are concerned that his gimmicks like pulling his pants down in the locker room and his hard-nosed approach will wear thin over time, especially if they start losing and when you consider how coddled athletes are these days... now, Mike is obv a man that commands a great deal of respect and this may not turn out to be the case, but to simply dismiss niceguy as a moron or say he has a terrible argument is just wrong, if you ask me...

do you guys know that Singletary had an amazing 662 tackles in his Baylor career, including 34 in one game vs Houston? dude was a machine...

WTF has the OT come too when Waco is sounding calm and collective, rather than pissed off and reasonable?

His appoach will weed out the lames, I don't see a guy like Teddy Bruschi quitting on Mike. He will find terrific value in his players imo, his approach will not be fooled by fantastic ability, he'll put football players on the field.
