Seems the folks in the NFL office sure have a sense of humor. The NFL released the preseason schedules for all 32 teams and the 49ers open their exhibition season against the Denver Broncos, for those that are not aware, former head coach Mike Nolan is now defensive coordinator for the Broncos. No word yet [...]
Jay Glazer was on the Dan Patrick show and they were discussing the Nolan firing. It seems that word has come out that it wasn’t John York who fired Nolan, but that it was his son Jed York. It seems yesterday Jed walked into Nolan’s office and fired him.
“We had hoped to get to the [...]
Chris Mortensen is reporting that Mike Nolan has been fired. Jay Glazer is reporting that Mike Nolan has been fired. Of course the 49ers are not saying that. But all reports are that they will not wait any longer and Nolan is gone.
Reports are Singletary is expected to take over.
Barring a dramatic change of course, the San Francisco 49ers plan to fire head coach Mike Nolan after the team’s game against Seattle on Sunday, a source told ESPN’s Michael Smith on Monday.
Next week is the 49ers’ bye week. Nolan is expected to be replaced by assistant head coach Mike Singletary. When reached by [...]
ESPNews is reporting that Mike Nolan may bench JT O’Sullivan in favor of Shaun Hill next week.
Yahoo Sports is reporting that there are whispers that if the 49ers can not get a win before the bye, Nolan could be out of a job.
This weeks Beasts and Bitches for the 49ers/Pats game are as follows. Sidenote, this was perhaps the easiest week to find bitches.
Beasts:
Frank Gore: I feel sorry for Frank that he has to play under Nolan and behind this offensive line. I could never see him in the Bitch category.
Patrick Willis: 18 tackles, 1 sack. He [...]
I recently stumbled across a little internet blurb written by a self proclaimed fan of the San Francisco 49ers. Frank Fusco is his name and in this instance he appears to fancy himself a writer.
This really shouldn’t come as a shock, since Nolan did this last season to Smith. The 49ers have only played three preseason games and Nolan has already taken another shot at his former starting quarterback.
This says everything you need to know about what Mike Nolan thinks about Alex Smith. This is a screencap from the 49ers-Bears game.
There was a time, a time before quarterback controversies and lowered expectations, when as a collective fan base, 49er fans were, to use the slogan, Rollin’ with Nolan.
Apparently there are rumors floating around that Nolan gameplanned for the Packers game to make Aaron Rodgers look bad.
Another practice, another case of Nolan having no clue what he is doing with the quarterback situation. I was reading some Niner news today and came across the breakdown of the reps the quarterbacks have taken with the first team.
The following is a answer Nolan gave after being asked about the quarterback situation that is now back to a 3-man race.
We all know that head coach Mike Nolan is on a short leash. It’s almost a given that if he doesn’t succeed this season he’ll be fired. Well rumors are already flying that if Nolan is let go Holmgren may want to head back to San Francisco, but not as head coach. This go around [...]
Update: 06:59pm — Per Clayton, Martz has been contacted by the 49ers to interview for their offensive coordinator job. While no interview time has been set up, Martz is expected to meet with 49ers coach Mike Nolan next week. Nolan interviewed for Cowboys head coach Chan Gailey Friday. He’s also setting up interviews with former Dolphins [...]
For the third consecutive season the 49ers coaching staff will coach the Senior Bowl. Head coach Mike Nolan and Co. actually enjoy coaching in the Senior Bowl because it gives them good access to the players. The past two drafts the 49ers took 10 players who played in the Senior Bowl, six of whom the [...]
If you listened closely during the press conference, you could almost hear the collective groans of 49ersnews.com staff and members as the news of Mike Nolan’s return was made official. I could almost hear them here in Cincinnati over the clacking of an idling diesel engine and the scraping of a hardened steel plow blade [...]
Reports everywhere are saying Cam Cameron’s days as the Dolphins head coach are done. If I’m McCloughan, Nolan, or whoever the hell is actually calling the shots. As soon as the axe gets dropped on Cameron (which KNBR just reported Mort said has happened) I send a private jet, strippers, and Frank Gore down to Miami to [...]
I just finished watching the 49ers press conference today and if they were to make a sequel to Brokeback Mountain, Scot McCloughan and Mike Nolan would have the starring roles. There was so much manlove between the two I was uncomfortable. Scot played the PC role to a ‘T’ and Mike Nolan came off as [...]
I’m not going to lie, I was on the fire Nolan bandwagon, infact I was riding shotgun. But now with word that Nolan will be around for another season, I thought to myself am I going to sit here and bitch and moan because the Yorks decided to retain him? The answer is no. I’m [...]

As I sat here watching the 49ers blow another contest which was very much within their reach, I recalled something I read not more then a month ago.
