Finally a coach that is willing to stand up and set standards. Mike Singletary, hall of famer and new head coach of the 49ers did not make the type of appearance during his loss to the Seahawks at home. Although it may not be best practice to bring the decision of a head coach towards a player to the media it does seem that with the past seasons for the San Fransisco 49ers the tone needs to be set and Singletary was their to voice his beliefs in how a team should operate.

 

‘I am from the Old school,’ Singletary exclaimed. Moving moving on to say that he ‘would not tolerate players that think it’s about them when it’s about the team,’ referring to Vernon Davis and why he was asked to leave the field.

 

 

Furthermore he explained the reasoning behind the expectations he sets as a coach and in dealing with selfish players.

 

‘Cannot play with them. Cannot win with them. Cannot coach with them. Can’t do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win.’

 

What struck me from the conversation was his poise and the direct points he wanted to get accross including some powerful points including where he sees the team making a change stating, ‘…I want you to understand where I’m coming from: It will change. And it will change because they want it to change. Not because of me. It will change because they want to be champions.’

 

And Ending the press conference with the following words, ‘I’m just going to apologize and just ask you guys… Just keep watching. That’s all I can tell you. And we’ll go from there. Thank you very much.’
