On this day 10 years ago, Mike Singletary took the podium for his first post-game

Whenever there’s an anniversary of something epic, be it The Catch trilogy, or crazy celebrations, you know we have to bring it up.

Today isn’t so much about a play, but it’s about a speech. A speech by one Samurai Mike, better known to you as Mike Singletary, AKA the former 49ers head coach who was better as a motivational speaker.

Mike Nolan had just been fired as head coach and Singletary was promoted to interim head coach. All signs of logic would have him going back to his duties as linebackers coach once the season was over and the 49ers had a coaching search.
