I live my life based on this post game interview
Riddlla I love that!!!!!!
and I don't even like football.
I want to win!
Lmao
Me too!
This actually turned around Vernon Davis’ career.
It also helped to revitalize the entire organization. Much like Mark Jackson did for Golden State.
@@mangadolomark jackson was just a shit coach, his whole offense revovled around isos for harrison barnes💀
Vernon thanked him for it later on afterwards
"Cannot play with 'em, cannot win with "em, cannot coach with 'em, CAN'T DO IT!!!" Anthony Robbins has nothing compared to Mike Singletary's form of motivation.
Mike doesn't sugar coat the situation. Love him!
Yep❤
@@mahbramahbut Kyle do all the time
This aged VERY well. Quite inspiring actually.
Blunt honest life advice in here
the “i want winners, i want people that want to win” line is so overlooked.
it seems obvious, but you’ll be surprised how many people in life , outside of sports, do not have a winning mentality
Singletary single-handedly turned this team around and paved the way for Harbaugh and the lightning in a bottle that came right after. Singletary also single-handedly saved Vernon Davis' career. Davis was supposed to be one of the best tight ends ever and simply did not live up to his potential for the first couple seasons. His ego was too big and he failed to live up to expectations. Singletary put him in his place and Davis went on to say that this was the most impactful moment of his career. He finally had a REAL MAN and NFL Hall of Famer stand up to him and throw him out of a game and say, "We're better off without you." Davis seemed like he'd never heard anyone tell him that in his entire life.
Davis got the message and ended up having a solid career. At his peak, he was one of the best ever.
I still believe Singletary doesn't get any credit for the attitude he instilled to the 49ers, but it set the tone for the success they'd have going forward.
He trained, disciplined a team and gave it to a coach and they went to 3 straight nfc championships...Hell Id hire him just for discipline
xanderluv
This is why I wish they got coaches this man for every NFL team...in all areas of life!
*Cough Raiders* need that toughness
He even takes accountability
This guy is the complete package
exactly
And don't forget Vernon Davis has since said he is extremely grateful for Mike Singletary's leadership and he helped change his career and life.
This is the way Mike was as a player on every play...what a man, what a coach.
he was horrible in San Francisco
@@alexjones9038those guys can’t play with a coach who said you can’t win with them
@@alexjones9038 maybe as a HC but as a player and a person he’s a force of nature.
What did Vernon even do anyways for him to say what he said I would like to know. If he is complaining or doesn't feel like playing I could understand Mike Single Terry's frustration.
Singletary never got enough credit for this. Benching the star player? That takes some serious balls to begin with and then to teach him a lesson in humility by thrashing his attitude in the post game press conference? My children’s children will know about “I would rather play with 10 people and just get flagged all the way through then play with 11 with one of those players thinking it’s about them” what an absolute boss
Who was the star player
And it worked too, even Vernon Davis will tell you this made him a better player.
@@keynaanmedia5329 Vernon Davis the TE
That’s y he was fired
@@Blackout7369 no
"Our formula is this.... We go out, we hit people in the mouth..... number one.." That line is absolutely timeless!!!!!!
☝️
Bro… has me absolutely 💀 bc he’s absolutely right! And Ima skinny azz soccer player, but the winning concept is the same in all facets of life. 💯
🤜+👄=#☝️
Adopt that philosophy and you greatly enhance your team’s chances of making the playoffs. Assuming the penalties don’t hurt you in the modern game.😂
I put it at the start of a dj mix I did years ago 😂
"Can't do it"
"Won't do it"
Jovany Rodriguez I want winners
Harbaugh has gotten this team back on top, but Singletary is the one that turned the tide.
Harbaugh didn't do shit, he just got there at the right time.
Scot McCloughan drafted that roster.Nolan built the staff that Singletary kept.Harbaugh showed them how to win.
That is the simple version of events.
When Harbaugh came in, only Justin Smith, Patrick Willis, and D. Goldson kept their starting jobs on defense. Bowman became a starter when Spikes was released. Brooks became a starter over Lawson. Eventually Aldon Smith took over for Harilson. Nose Tackle A. Franklin went to the Saints. Ray McDonald took over at DE when they moved Soap over to NT. Clements was released and replaced by Carlos Rogers. Brown took over for Spencer. Donte Whitner was signed to play SS. most of the entire defense was different, and led by Vic Fangio.
The offense became more consistent and follow fundamentals. Alex Smith only turned the ball over 4 times in 2011. They had a creative running game with a verity of traps, counters, and pitches to keep the defense on their heels. Jim literally ran the Packer Power Sweep against the Packers down their throat in 2012 and it was hilarious.
The problem with getting back to the fundamentals and the basics is that it lacks the creativity needed to compete in the NFL at the highest level. He took a great team with a soft schedule and got them to play consistent conservative football. That is why they went 13-3. Singletary couldn't coach offensive football or manage a game on the offensive side of the ball. That is why they were 6-10 and a disaster.
Ryan Oelrichs Jim harbaurgh
Mike built that team... Fuck Harbaugh!
@@WziaHere -- they wanted a Panzy coach in Harbaugh. Mike was tough. San Francisco is a flakey city anyway. They don't want Mike's toughness!!
Vernon Davis has already publicly credited Singletary tossing him from this game for the light to his NFL Career cutting on. He was still a young immature player at the time. Great speech though and true for any team.
Yep Vernon said this changed his whole outlook on his career. I think we all need to hear stuff like this in our lives
Plus I think Singletary needs to get another chance at being a Head Coach
Mike Young blood, 100 percent right.
Exactly, Vernon said he was a diva a no coach ever held him accountable until then. He got the message immediately and became a great 49er
Hands down, best post-game press conference ever. Didn't curse, didn't freak out, in fact he barely raised his voice, but he got his point across in a way that left no misunderstandings.
As a 49ers fan my heart flutters when I hear this, the true turning point for our franchise. Mike Nolan couldn’t motivate a sperm to reach the egg, but Samurai Mike put his foot down and cursed out a superstar day one. Legendary I’ll always love u
"We go out we hit people in the mouth, that's number 1"
That formula bruh
We need this on the Chicago Bears right now!!
If nothing else, Samurai Mike would bring back the passion & dog fight attitude for team. Aaron Rodgers humiliates the Bears in Chicago and then says “I own you”… and nobody on the Bears team takes it personal or fires back in the media. Even worse, the Bears “response” to Rodgers “owning them” is to come out on national TV and get humiliated even worse by Tom Brady.
Mike Singletary would have personally made a comment about Rodgers quote, and he would have at least had the Bears defense ready for war against Tom Brady. He may have lost the game, but the Bears wouldn’t have curled up in a fetal position live on TV.
Amen brother. 🐻⬇️
Let the church say amen 💯
This is the kinda coach I would like the play for. I have no clue why he isn't with a team now. Crazy
Because the 49ers were losing. Wasn't his fault, but he was the coach, so he gets the blame.
He's not good with the Xs and Os. Coaching is a lot more than being a motivator.
His motivation would go great with College players...It would grow old quick with NFL players if they started losing.
Booda Davis HE WAS A TERRIBLE COACH BRUH.
I love this speech! We need more NFL coaches like this.
This was better than what Steve Mariucci did. Suspended TO for celebrating the game.
This never gets old
I want winners
As a lifelong Niner fan listening Coach Singletary's Post Game brings back memories, good, bad and memorable. I love his passion for the game and he wore his heart on his sleeve but he had a difficult time dealing with the modern day personalities of today's NFL players. By benching VD for the second half of the game it ultimately caused him to refocus and ultimately saved his career. I think Singeltary could have been a good coach with the right team a good OC and more support.....JMO
To watch somebody call out these overpaid and under performing guys in today's game is extremely refreshing and satisfying. I'm actually a die hard Steelers fan but grew up in the 80's and have always had a soft spot for the 9ers. I loved when Singletary done this.
Yeah, he just didn't have a great coaching staff which lands on him. But as a motivator he's damn sure great at it.
@@tspawn35 He is not much of an X's and O's type of guy to be a good DC. He was best suited as a LB's coach and an Assistant Head Coach, which is what he was before he got to be HC.
I think he's the perfect coach to take a team out of the gutter like SF was in at the time, because before X's and O's mean anything, the attitude has to be there.
Belichick caught lightning in a bottle with a veteran roster of above average guys who all wanted to succeed.
He also had a QB who wouldn't accept mediocrity for 20 years.
Bill is a great coach, no doubt, but he got lucky as hell with the timing.
You want guys like this to be your coach if your team has a losing mentality. He'd have to delegate on X and O's, but man... this dude is a leader.
as a 49ers fan, I still watch this from time to time. Great speach
speech*
Man, I'm a Seahawks fan and love this speech! Love Coach Singletary. Hated to see him set things up but then get booted out.
I’m a Cowboys fan and wished we had him as our coach. We haven’t had one worth anything since Parcels left.
Mike Singletary, real shame he had no offensive intuition, but he built that foundation for that team. I think he'll get another chance.
+ZorroVenonoso Agreed. He should get a second chance.
***** let's not go overboard. I'd rather take Payton
+ZorroVenonoso so right you are bro! harbaugh inherited the defence that singletary built! he just inserted his offensive schemes there! just was missing that top flight quarterback and no- Colin Kaepernick don't count!
In Dallas there needs to be not just new coach but also no involvement on the part of the plastic JJ band
Common misconception, but Nolan and McCloughan built this team. Think of all the main guys that Harbaugh first succeeded with. Willis, Gore, Davis, Staley, J. Smith, A. Smith. All drafted by Nolan/McCloughan except J. Smith who was courted as a FA. Singletary taught discipline, but he didn't assemble the team Harbaugh succeeded with by any means.
@0:02"I appologize..."
@1:23"I do not appologize..."
Paul Gaither bruh.. your killin me hahaha
Lmao 10 plus years later
You know what, I’ll go ahead and take the question
the sign of a good rant
Ayyooo, lmfao
God I loved me some old school Singletary coaching up the Niners. I lived in San Francisco during this time and watched this game and presser on TV. Everybody loved Singletary. He planted the seeds of success for that team and showed Vernon Davis how to conduct himself like a professional and man.
This changed Vernon Davis career still balling today 11 plus years later
He should have Mike introduce him when he goes into the hall of fame. because he will get there,
@@tookiezzz2898 Voters are really being stingy lately. Issac Bruce has over 15,000 receiving yards, 91 TD, 4 Pro-Bowls and a SB. He's currently #5 on the career receiving yards list. His name has been on the HOF ballot for the last 5 years, and he's been turned down every year. For Vernon, he's played his career in the pass-happy NFL where QB's routinely throw for 4,000 yards. Despite that, his stats are similar to Ozzie Newsome, a guy who played in the 80's. Ozzie also has made 3 Pro-Bowls to Vernon's 2, and crucially, has 1 All-Pro while Vernon has zero. I don't think he's getting in.
Did v d win a superbowl as well???
He's a great leader, teacher, and motivator. He's just not strong on the X's and O's.
He assumes professionals know the skills to play the game.
Benjamin Rood Schemes weren’t nearly as complex in his day as they are now
when I worked for conway he was in videos for our company,talking good about us
He was made a head coach too soon. Needed more time watching how it is done.
I'm up at 5:17am because I had really bad and scary dream. I searched for this again and it's what I needed.
this so called "rant" makes me proud to be OLD SCHOOL too.
Yea fuck the soft shit. Gimme Mike all day e'er day
🤢🤮🥴
Word up my g
It's a shame he didnt make it as a coach. Hes a smart humble hard worker. Sometimes the message is like medicine. It doeant taste good.
Generational differences BIG TIME. Mike is OLD SCHOOL!!
0:43 the way he says it will change is so Father-Like. It's not a positive reassurance, it's a definitive statement like he knew that the team was more than capable of being a championship team and so long as they kept the core intact, the team was going to go somewhere. Love it
I think Mike Singletary has a YUUUGE family... don't quote me
(edit: Singletary has some insanely, tight family values and I believe has 3 kids of his own and 3 adopted kids)
The Niners are good Today in large part because of this old school coach
"Cannot play with them; cannot win with them; cannot coach with them! Can't do it! I want winners!!! I want people that wanna win!!!"
-Mike Singletary
(Former San Francisco 49ers coach)
Neil Fournerat Great players don't always make great coaches.
Soviet Onion 72
Well, as far as coaches and players go, it pretty much goes both ways.
Id rather play with 10 people!
@@sovietonion72 make no mistake: he was definitely a very good coach, just not a good head coach. He helped change the culture for San Fran. Biggest mistake they ever made was rolling with Kaep. That ruined their franchise.
Realest shit ever spoken
I come from outside of the US so I haven't the first clue about how American football works.
What I do know is these players, coaches and fans are heavily invested in it emotionally so seeing them face such tremendous adversity is something I watch and try to learn from ever so often, being cool or at least trying to be level-headed while getting your point across despite disappointment is a skill I think we can all appreciate and learn.
thats a great comment shane
I have never seen in sports where a coach made such an impact so quick. Complete turn-a-round. This man is so respected by everyone. Thank god the 49ers have him
I remember Mike as the leader of the Bears defense back in the 1980's so even as a Bears fan, I was glad for him becoming a head coach no matter who the team.
He was one of the greatest linebackers. And ended up coaching several pro bowl linebackers afterwards.
This is what you call "the real deal" the best kind of coach to have. I am not niners fan, I'm not even a pro football fan, but this is what pro football needs. This is a guy you go into battle with no matter what. Good for him!
Facts. 💯
This guy was Ray Lewis before Ray Lewis was Ray Lewis. He was the MIKE linebacker for Mike Ditka and Buddy Ryan of the famous Chicago Bear "Monsters of the Midway" teams in the 1980s back when teams didn't throw the ball around the yard, the ran it and they ran it up the middle. This guy was banging heads with pulling guards, fullbacks with necks bigger than their heads.
He may have lost his job later that season, but my goodness. Vernon Davis became an allstar and a captain following this and the team was a well oiled machine going forward.
One of the greatest soundbites of alltime.
important moment in nfl and 49ers history. i love coach singletary
mike singletary is one of the greatest linebackers of all time.Love the no nonsense type of coach.
I still watch this every year this was the start of a new franchise the winning era the dawg mentally
The Steelers need to watch this press conference, THIS IS HOW YOU LEAD !!!!!
Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell both need to watch this, coming from a Steelers fan.
Both in the super bowl now
Lol it was despite them not because of them just know that as this was Mahomes 2nd super bowl and Bradys 10 so believe it those guys were along for a ride to a superbowl not a reason for a super bowl.....that was cute though
GOAT Speech. 2022 players can't handle this mans massive set of nuts.
Epic, takes me back a few years! I mean, you just rarely see this from a head coach anymore, even at that time, it was kind of rare. I really liked Mike's passion and persona, even if he didn't get the results win-wise as an HC. Those 2007/08-2010 teams weren't great, but he really did change the attitude and culture of the team, especially on defense. That 2009 team in particular was really promising, and the defense was vicious. And the best part of this rant was that Vernon actually listened to Singletary and became a much better team player. Turned his career around. I hope Singletary gets another gig in the NFL, in one form or another. He'd be a valuable asset to any team.
Can't believe this guy isn't coaching anywhere
Many players will not play for a coach like this.They are too pampered. Singletary don"t play that shit.
Andrew Radakovitz As a 49er fan who watched all of the regimes right before Singletary (Mike Nolan/Scot McCloughan) and right after him (Jim Harbaugh/Trent Baalke), and the reason Singletary wasn't fit to be a top coach is because he just didn't have enough general knowledge of the X's and O's of all aspects of the game. He was an excellent motivator which is an awesome quality, but you have to be able to coach the game too which he wasn't able to.
Andrew Radakovitz. He was the linebackers coach for the Rams this year.
James Bayly he's better than Tomsula, and whoever the fuck you guys will settle for now
@T. Way He didn't know X's and O's of the offense bruh, and didn't have a top quality OC to make up for it. There's a reason that the team he went 5-10 with went 13-3 the following year despite a lockout shortened offseason.
As a die hard Niners fan , I'm glad we have a coach that knows discipline!! Mike doesn't play around and it is having an affect on our team!! He definiltely knows how to motivate otherwise we wouldn't be 2-0 right now!! Go Niners!!!
Look how far we’ve come brother
Dedicated to the 2015 Cleveland Browns...keep hope alive!!!
I hope you kept that hope alive cuz you guys are in the playoffs now!
He's right...
It changed Vernon Davis forever, though...for the good.
That quote is timeless! I love it! "Our formula is this.... we go out, we hit people in the mouth.... number one!".. I just LOVE that shit! LOL!
I bet Niner fans wish they could have Mike back now....
+Todd Nazarino Maybe as the D coach!
I wish his was back
No, no, no...he knew less about X's and O's than that plumber we just fired did. Rah rah coaches don't work in the head spot. They are excellent assistant coaches but not at being the top dog. If you need proof of his ineptitude look no further than how rarely Mike wore a headset while coaching. Hard to coach if you're not communicating with anyone, and you certainly aren't calling any plays.
+Todd Nazarino Hell no. So we can watch three runs and a punt 20 times a game.
+James Bayly The Rah Rah guy you had after him seemed do just fine.. The niners have become a dumpster fire. That's not Mike Singletary, that's not Jim Harbaugh and that's not Bill Walsh. Garbage management..
They are..who we thought they were!!!!!! That's my fave but this is great too..
I needed this today
Samurai Mike's style would work REALLY well with some college kids. He needs to land a coaching gig somewhere with an NCAA school. I would personally LOVE him with Notre Dame. He'd turn a bunch of college kids into real football players, and put that hard nosed mentality into them before their NFL careers even began.
With the right assistants and coordinators for the more strategic parts of the game, he can lead a team far, I'm sure.
He should have received another coaching opportunity. He is very intelligent and he made Vernon Davis an All Pro.
Not sure about intelligence but That guy knows how to motivate. If his words can't have the desired effect, then it's time for change. All coaches do the same thing. They find what's good a player and utilize it effectively. MS may not have been a great coach but he sure as fuk tried to get people motivated and care for more than about the paycheck.
They don't make coaches like this no more. Mike is a warrior!!
Our formula is this " WE GO OUT WE HIT PEOPLE IN THE MOUTH"! This is real coaching.
If Ditka passed the baton, it was to this guy.
Holy hot damn 11 year old video. Time flies.
I loved the "You were doing great!" when he decided not to rant right away.
One of the greatest players of all time. One of the most inspiring lectures ever by a coach.
Mike Singletary didn't sound like head coach but he sound like a player!
You can't take the player out of a coach.
leftcoaster67 LOL
Everywhere he goes, they be like: Ooh, so player!
Good thing he was one
u know listening to mike, he'd make a hell of a politician man! he should run for office now- it aint too late! but you can see he's a born leader with that old skool no nonsense style! i like this guy- however today's NFL won't hire this guy cuz he's too rigid, too disciplined for the youngsters to grasp his forward thinking- until they in their 30's when its much too late!
I agree with you 1000% percent. Maybe he will get a shot at a major college program that needs his style of discipline to upright a troubled program and win.
I know theres some stiff competition but this is honestly my favorite post game press conference ever. He finds the perfect combination of completely grilling the team but also interjecting alot of hopeful and inspiring stuff that anyone could get behind.
James Harden needed a coach like this
I wish the 49ers would bring him back as a linebackers coach or another smaller role. Miss that guy. Not as a head a coach, but he was good for the players.
Gotta appreciate real honesty!!
This speech brings tears to my eyes.
I love this type of attitude from a coach. He was such a competitor as a player, and kept that same energy as a coach. I have no idea why he was never given another opportunity to coach.
You don't want me to go much further
3:15 - 3:38 💯 incredible wisdom
Mike Singletary needs to give this speech to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After so many years this still gets to me !!
Every time I dwell on this man coaching my time I feel like I won the lottery. The man is ownage. He's a winner at the highest level tried and true. Follow him.
i want winners!
2020 and I'm still watching this
The best rant in the history of sports has to be Hal Mcrae of the Royals.
Mike was pushed into the HC role too quickly. From what I remember, he had not even been a coordinator yet when Nolan was fired.
That said, I am sure he could become an awesome DC for someone, or at minimum, a great linebackers coach.
"Can not win with them!Can not coach with them!Can not play with them!Can't do it! I want winners! I want people who Want to win!"...classic coaching rant
Great postgame presser / speech from one of the greatest smash mouth players of all time.
This man deserves a ring if Niners win....singletary changed this team!!! Made them tough minded strong willed individuals!!!! Thank u mike...the backbone
This man should be head coach for the Raiders, they wouldn't be 0-10! And maybe the Bears! He would strike fear into his players! Like his mentor, Mike Ditka!
You can't use fear as a motivator you idiot ask any sport psychologist
If you listen closely to this [champion], you can hear the voice of the legendary Vince Lombardi.
We need to be hearing this speech right now!!!
as a die hard Seahawks fan I am so glad for the city of San Fran they have a great person to lead this team. Awesome person to look up too....Best of luck!
CANT DO IT !!! Lol
Possibly the most riveting post game press conference in NFL history
And he never named names. He didn't throw people under the bus. He just said hit the shower and watch and learn. Didn't blast players for missing assignments. This is the kind of guy you want on your coaching staff.
listening to this after yesterdays game 👏
I Want Winners!! A Great Motivational presser & foundation to base off of 💯💯💯
One of the all time great interviews! He was right about everything he said.
Let the church say amen 💯
2022 raiders need to hear this
The nfl should give coach singletary a coaching job I love his old school coaching!!!
I hope the day comes that Mike Singletary will get a head coaching gig again. The man is a leader of men. As great a player as he was, I think he has the potential of being a greater coach. I felt that he was going to be a great coach when he was still a player. Jim Harbaugh reaped the benefits of the great foundation that Singletary laid down for the 49ers. Good luck and God bless, Mike!
This happened in 2008. Ironically, it's the last time the Seahawks beat the 49ers in SF.
Yeah and we will never beat them there again unless they move there stadium :(
Cruz Medina LOL. Who's we?
Well that streak ended on thanksgiving
jacob Fonseca Not really. 49ers moved from SF to Santa Clara. Technically a new stadium not located in SF, so I'm right!!!!
*****
Still not the same.
A Coaches Coach
I could play for a coach this passionate every day!
The greatest post game presser of all time. He deserves another head coaching gig,
