Mike Singletary Becomes Head Coach
Mike is a friend and someone I admire greatly.Mike does not drink, cuss and is man enough to end conversations with God Bless You. He is also a member of Pro Football’s Hall of Fame. In Rick Telander’s column today in Chicago’s Sun Times newspaper, he referred to Mike as “The star defensive assassin in the Bears’ unparalleld defense.”
I have done some business deals with Mike and he is intense, intelligent, compassionate man that uses exemplary leadership skills. He has the leadership and intelligence to have been the CEO for some of the biggest corporations in the world if he had chosen that path.
Mike will by example show the 49ers how to be men, and how and why the choices they make on and off the football field, will reflect the intensity and spirit they put into wanting to be the best. Mike will communicate a sense of urgency in regard to improvement and I predict great things in San Francisco by the end of this season.
Coach Singletary will show the team how the establish goals, communicate their role, and what the rewards to the players will be. He will enlighten this squad to the fact hard work can be fun. He will love his players in a leadership style that will compel his players to give their all to ensure Coach Singletary is a success.
The NFL, now has 9 head coaches that are black. The Rooney rule, which simply stated means that for every opening, a black coach candidate must be interviewed.That is undeniable progress from the days of zero to 3 head coaches that were black.
I wish Coach Singletary and the 49ers best wishes toward a finish to this year that indicates progress.

Hello JD,
That’s great news! Mr. Mike Singletary is an excellent choice. I, too, admire your friend for his exemplary example of leadership both on and off the field.
If Mr. Singletary can coach as effectively as he played football, the San Francisco 49ers will become a Super Bowl contender soon.
As always, thank you for sharing.

Mike has been like a breath of fresh air in the NFL since he took over in SF. His no-nonsense approach and the demanding of accountability from his players are something I welcome and something that has been missing from professional sports for a long time.
I understand the sheer economics about these guys , but that does not mean they should not be held to a higher standard of accountability. they have lacked it for so long they are throwing temper tantrums when someone holds them to that standard. As black men it is time we start policing each other in all aspects of life, both young and old men. Singletary will do that with this men or in some instances, old boys.
