Mike Singletary doesn’t much care for Vernon Davis’ attitude,

Mike Singletary Would Like Vernon Davis to Know He Is No Softy as a Head Coach
FanHouse — Filed under: 49ers, Seahawks, NFL Media Watch, NFL Real Talk, NFL VideoMike Singletary lost his home coaching debut today, to the tune of a 34-13 blasting at the hands of a horrible Seattle Seahawks. Oh yes, and he has to deal with Vernon Davis, who is generally hated by every single fantasy owner who has reached on him over the past three years. And, of course, the 49ers, who appear to have wasted more of a draft pick on him than even Alex Smith. So it shouldn't be that shocking that Singletary decided to send him to the showers 10 minutes early and ...

Sullivan in the second quarter, and telling TE Vernon Davis to take a hike with 10 minutes left in the game.  “I’ve never seen a coach so animated,” winced the SF Chronicle’s Kevin Lynch, who clearly never saw Tom Coughlin’s cameo in “The Snorks”. “You don’t want me to go any further,” ...

Expect the 49ers' defense to play better after the bye week because he will have time to transition to his way of coaching, instead of Nolan's. The defense had played horribly and allowed two short passes to Leonard Weaver that were turned from what should have been minimal gains to two huge ...
