Early reports on Monday stated that Mike Nolan would be fired as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after they play the Seattle Seahawks. Now it appears that Nolan has been fired this afternoon and that Mike Singletary will be the interim head coach.

Nolan was 18-37 as head coach of the 49ers. Not what management was expecting when they hired Nolan. Nolan was in the fourth year of a five-year, $8.5 million contract. Nolan will always be remembered for wanting to draft Alex Smith who the 49ers did draft but later turned out to be a bust. The busy of Smith sure didn’t help Nolan out that is for sure.

Now the 49ers will see what Singletary can do for the team. Maybe a change at the top will help the team get going and start winning some games. What does everyone thing?
