With only one game left in the season, the San Francisco 49ers decide to start next season by firing head coach Mike Singletary. Singletary has 2 years and $10 million left, but team president and CEO Jed York says this will not impact hiring a coach long term. After a disappointing start to a over-hyped season, yesterdays 25-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams shut the crack in the playoff door for good. Early rumors are putting Harbaugh from Stanford as a front runner. Singletary has been a fan favorite, a sentiment not shared by his players including verbal altercations with Vernon Davis, Alex Smith, and recently in Sunday's game Troy Smith. He said in closing, " I am thankful to the York family for having given me the opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL. I am indebted to them for that. I am also thankful for the Faithful fans, I am just sorry I couldn't give them more."
