If you caught a sound bite of Mike Singletary Sunday night, you heard him talking in the past tense, like a coach who had already been fired.When you woke up this morning, you found out he was gone -- let go as soon as the 49ers' plane from St. Louis landed in San Francisco, making him the fourth NFL coach fired during the season.
After "Black Monday'' (alternate name "Bloody Monday" -- the day after the regular season ends) next week, the coaching-vacancy figure could hit double digits. The NFL isn't European "football,'' where coach/manager changes happen three times a season for some teams. But in this country, impatience also runs high among owners.
So with the playoff picture finally becoming clear -- right down to the "play-in'' game next Sunday night for the NFC West title, featuring 7-8 St. Louis at 6-9 Seattle -- the future of some coaches on the bubble is becoming clearer.
To an extent.
