Mike Singletary replaced Mike Nolan on Monday as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Nolan was largely ineffective in his tenure with the team that dominated the National Football League during the heydays of Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice and a coach named Bill Walsh.
But now, with Singletary in the charge, the team will be run by the middle linebacker some say was the best in league history. And he’s also the player whose image represents television technology at its best.
Remember the first time the close-up camera captured Singletary’s intense look as a play was being called? Has there ever been a more vivid image in NFL history?
If Singlestary can install some the same intense degree of concentration, they’ve got to improve, right?
