Niners' "State of the Franchise" address
Mike Nolan, who was dismissed mid-season as the 49ers' coach, said that Mike Singletary was the right man for the job. And although he was right, Singletary got off to a shaky start in his first week on the job.
In the press conference after the game, Singletary made an example of TE Vernon Davis. Then, later in the week, it was revealed (no pun intended) that Singletary mooned his team at halftime during that game.
Last night, Singletary and members of the Niners' front office held a "State of the Franchise" address made to season ticket holders. And, as you might have expected, Singletary stole the show.
Singletary expects the team to play smash-mouth football and be "physical with an F." He also talked about the difference between a "dream" and a "vision."

"When I look around the NFL, I'm amazed by how many people have a dream and how few have a vision," he said. The difference, he said, is that a dream ends up being passive, accommodating disappointment. A vision, he said, "captures the imagination. A vision is something that consumes you like a fire, won't let you eat, won't let you sleep until that vision comes to pass."The Niners finished 2008 with a 7-9 record after starting 2-5 under Nolan. The question is how soon will Singletary eat and sleep?
