Welcome Mike Singletary

Former 49ers coach Mike Singletary has confirmed he's been hired to be the linebackers coach/assistant head coach for the Vikings.

Singletary will be reunited with former Bears teammate Leslie Frazier. He'll be taking over for Fred Pagac, who is expected to be promoted to defensive coordinator. It will be Frazier's defense, though.

Singletary will be great, but we still have work to do in the coaching dept.

We still need an offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and special teams.

Great player, but as a coach? From what I've seen, 49ers fans don't exactly miss him.

He'll be an outstanding position coach...it's not unusual for a 1st time head coach (without a qb) to go down in flames.

He'll bring the type of "fire" this team will need with the easy going Frazier as the head coach.

I like him, he's the kind of guy our defense needs to get them going again. He'll do good for our linebackers, and also help assist Frazier.

After watching the play off games the last two weeks, I noticed that the vikes defense doesn't show the toughness / swagger / attitude / "We're gonna Stop you" / "You come over the middle, your gonna get hit hard" attitude as the winning teams currently in the play offs.

We need to get a few players in here that have some mental toughness to them. I dont think any of our dbacks put fear into anyone. Our Lb'ers are OK, but Leber is not no Harrison or Claymaker.

Perhaps Singletary will get some of that mental toughness and swagger into our defense. I like his approach as a coach. Play hard or go home.

i.e. Frazier in 2011.

Good hire, will be needed to fill the holes of Leber and possibly E.J.

We should have gotten McDaniels for O coordinater though, that may be a tough pill to swallow down the road.

He is TOUGH and part of why they got rid of him was players getting into it with him. The last game he coached there was video of him yelling at the QB on the sidelines after an interception. So what if the player whines about that- its the coaches job to instill discipline. I actually thought Tice was a pretty good head coach, BUT- he wasn't tough enough. He acted like he wanted to be all the players buddys, and they walked all over him.

I like this but a bit apprehensive. I never watched him while at the 49ers and to be booted out so soon seems like maybe his coaching style does not fit with some. We will see how it goes that is all we can do.

One thing, when are Vikings ever going to get their own identity. Whats next a Lion on the roster.

Singletary was a great hire. He's a really good position coach and that's part of how he got the head job for the 49ers. He'll be great for the Vikings, will figure out how to be more effective as a head coach, and will eventually get another shot at the head job. If anything, he'll be instrumental in helping Leslie avoid some of the new coach pitfalls that Singletary encountered.

Mark it down: he may take over from Leslie if Frazier can't produce.
