I don't know what more we need to see from Mike Singletary.

While every coach has strengths and weaknesses, the 49ers banked on Singletary's considerable strengths of character to compensate for his glaring weaknesses.

Those weaknesses are game management and the X's and O's. Basically strategy is Singletary's weakness.

Singletary is the opposite of Bill Walsh and relies on discipline first, while Walsh implemented a system of play and put players on his team who would discipline themselves, like workhorse Jerry Rice.

Still, with discipline and motivation being Singletary's alleged strengths, we have seen anything but a disciplined and motivated team in all three games this year.

Game one saw an over-hyped 49ers squad quit five minutes before halftime on opening day, giving up 31 straight points.

Game two saw a motivated 49ers squad give away a game with four turnovers, three of them in the offensive red zone when the 49ers were looking to score.

Game three saw penalties at an alarming rate, mostly by an offensive line Singletary has personally selected, and not a lot of passion.

Mike Singletary's alleged strengths are evidently not transferred into the on-field play of the 49ers.

So now, Singletary is left with no game plan, no discipline, no motivation, and no wins.

It's time for Mike to go, and he needs to be replaced with some new blood.

Where can we go looking? Well, first thing is what are we looking for?

Like Bill Walsh, we need to look for an offensive-minded head coach a la Sean Payton or Bill Belichick. Our offense has been horrible since Terrell Owens and Jeff Garcia left and needs to be addressed.

The game is changing faster than ever, and the 49ers need a young head coach who is the future of the game.

If you can't pull another genius head coach out of the college ranks, then start looking at coordinators for the better offensive head coaches in the game, like the Denver Broncos did pulling Mike Shanahan out from under Bill Walsh a lifetime ago.
