Are the Bears really considering Mike Singletary?

Share

I was all in favorof Bears GMPhil Emery spreading his wings and interviewing a wide variety of potential head coaches until I heard one name--Mike Singletary.Mike Singletary? Seriously? Singletary? I must have read that report wrong. Mike Singletary? This is giving me doubts. Everyone can't be a candidate, can they? If so, I'm throwing my name in the ring.I have some great playbooks; the Packers offfense from 1992-2000 and my man Mouse Davis' run-and-shoot plays certainly can get first downs, and Jay Cutler can still take his same amount of hits and sacks. I'll even keep the "Tampa 2"scheme and all the current defensive coaches. They want Mike Singletary? I can draw up plays and coverages, and know how to run meetings; something people in the NFL have told me thatSingletary cannot do. If you can't run a meeting or draw up plays, why should you be a head coach? Last year, I spoke with someone that was in the room with Singletaryfor an interview for avacant head coaching job a few years ago. These are interviews that typically take several hours and as most people know by now, are very thorough.10 minutes intothis interview the peopleundergoing the hiring process literallylooked at each other, baffled by what they heard and saw. They knew the man in front of them was far from capable or qualified for the job, andwere unsure how to proceed. He could noteven answer basic questions without referring to a huge binder of information thathe hadbrought with him. In San Francisco, members of his staff talked about how he embarrassed himself when he went to the board and tried to do any real coaching. I was told it became laughable. The stories are countless, so I wonder why is Phil Emery wasting his time? Have I been fooled? Have you? Who is really making the decisions at Halas Hall? Because noonewith any background on Singletary would truly consider him a candidate to be ahead coach. Not even at my beloved Pop Warner team. Mike Singletary?
