>Former 49ers coach Mike Singletary, whom top executive Jed
>York fired with one game remaining in the 2010 season, is
>scheduled to interview for the Chicago Bears head-coaching
>vacancy, according to multiple reports, including the Chicago
>Sun-Times.
>
>Before Singletary's forgettable stint as 49ers coach, he was
>best known as a Bears Hall of Fame linebacker.
>
>Singletary compiled an 18-22 record in parts of three seasons
>as 49ers coach. He took over in mid-season of 2008 after Mike
>Nolan was fired. In Singletary's only full season, the 49ers
>finished 8-8.
>
>In 2010, Singletary went back and forth between quarterbacks
>Alex Smith and Troy Smith, and the 49ers stumbled to a 5-10
>record with plenty of dysfunction along the way. After the
>49ers were eliminated from playoff contention with a 25-17
>loss to the St. Louis Rams, Singletary was fired. Defensive
>line coach Jim Tomsula took over as the interim coach and the
>49ers won the season finale to finish with a 6-10 record.
>
>Jim Harbaugh replaced Singletary, and the 49ers compiled
>regular-season records of 13-3 and 11-4-1 the next two
>seasons.
>
>Singletary has spent the past two seasons as
>linebackers/special assistant to the head coach of the
>Minnesota Vikings under Leslie Frazier, a former Bears
>teammate.
>
>Bears general manager Phil Emery also reportedly plans to
>interview Marc Trestman, a former 49ers offensive coordinator
>and current coach of the Montreal Alouettes (Canadian Football
>League).

this could be their Rooney Rule requirement. I wish him well, but I'm not sure if he's ready yet. Only for the fact that all those assholes who swore Alex was a coach killer would I party on him running the Bears into the ground. But who knows, maybe he's been able to swallow his pride and recognize some things about himself.
