Samurai Mike Sounds Off

This last Sunday marked Mike Singletary's first game as the 49ers' head coach. I'm excited to see this man finally get a head coaching job. I know his name was bounced around for a head coach position in the preseason, but never got it. The Hall of Famer and SuperBowl XX champion linebacker was the leader of one of the most prolific defenses in NFL history with the Chicago Bears of the '80's. Unfortunately, his first game at the helm resulted in a beatdown in their second division confrontation with the Hasselbeck-less Seahawks. Afterwards, Mike's press conference was a very stern one. Some in the media are calling it a tirade, but I see it as a stern call to action. I wish this guy the best, because the Niner's could have easily picked their offensive coordinator Martz for the job, who's been a head coach for many years and led one of the most pass-happy offense in the NFL's history with the Rams. Some great anecdotal footage of Mike can be found on NFL Network's America's Game site, with him recollecting the '85 Bears' season.

Here's the conference:



Singletary's great, I'd buy anything this guy sold - like these glasses:



If you want NFL coach tirades, here's some of the classics:


And who can forget Mike Gundy from Oklahoma State last year:
