Singletary in the future; Martz not for Niners
Mining the Gold Rush —
I was reading Matt Barrow's blog and came upon the recent developments with Mike Singletary. Unless something goes terribly wrong on Sunday, the 49ers look to sign Singletary for next season as early as Monday. League rules does not allow interim head coaches to sign contracts during the season, and the 49ers will take the first instant they can to make sure Singletary will stick around. I am really happy about the development of the 49ers under Singletary. Not only has there been an attitude change, but the team has definitely improved since he took over. ...

Every Morning Quarterback —
... during a meeting a couple days ago by outlining his game plan for the 49ers’ offensive and defensive future. Thus, it would seem that defensive coordinator Greg Manusky would stay and offensive coordinator Mike Martz (whose pass happy philosophy clashes with coach Singletary’s) would not.
