After dutifully soaking-in the coverage of Samurai Mike Singletary's promotion to head coach, the unfortunate conclusion becomes: it doesn't matter who San Francisco's head coach is.

The single biggest problem hobbling the 49er brand is that the ownership is inept in overseeing the processes of running a football franchise.

Well, that's that.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen just reported that Mike Nolan has been fired by the 49ers.

"Seems like the economic downturn has spread to the NFL," said AFS Bills correspondent DJ Burrito, as he thoughtfully swirled his wine.

Well, that sucked.

Now we've got all these rumors swirling that Head Coach Nolan II will be fired after this latest underwhelming showing.

American Football Spectacular's New York American Football Giants correspondent Joon Lee has some verrry specific opinions about Nolan and the state of the Niners...

Here's todays sports news

Ending a few days of speculation, it was announced that as expected, Mike Nolan will once again be prowling the sidelines in his spiffy suit as head coach of your San Francisco 49ers. He will, however, no longer be the Head Cheese as Scot McCloughan will take over in that role. Personally, we think the Yorks did this all backwards as they should have hired the personnel type guy first instead of the coach-- especially as the coach was somebody with absolutely no experience in doing either-- but what do we know? We're only bloggers.
