The spirit was relaxed, the players performed, and Coach Sing was spared.Schatzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728538126508998331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263387667307930697.post-85708117505857059062010-12-28T22:58:43.336-08:002010-12-28T22:58:43.336-08:00Singletary had a job to do and he didn't do it...Singletary had a job to do and he didn't do it. I like him and feel bad for him. However, I feel worse for the players who want to win and are on a team that hasn't produced when it should have. <br />He knew it was over-- Of course he hoped to finish the season. <br /><br /> The Faithful needed to know that the Niner's organization is aware and ready to step up. I was impressed with York's press conference. He was coached well dealing with reporters and showed he's in control and looking to stabilize the organization. The momentum is now. Interviewing for a GM has begun. I like knowing that the team didn't finish the season, take a break for the New Year and then slowly start to rebuild under the radar. The prudent choice was to take care of the fans and the team, now. --to show us someone is leading. York has not done that in the past. He is ultimately responsible. <br /><br />This situation reminds me of my job. <br /> As a teacher if my students are not performing after 2 years with me, do I finish the year or is it the principal's responsibility to remove me before the year ends? Students would be sad because we've developed a strong relationship and I've encouraged them well, I just haven't taught them any academics. Should the principal get me out and get someone in who can prepare the students academically or wait for another year to conclude?Laura Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303170248184184182noreply@blogger.com
