Mike Singletary told ESPN 1000 on Tuesday that he is joining the Minnesota Vikings staff, where he will be reunited with former Chicago Bears teammate Leslie Frazier. "I will be in Minnesota with Les," Singletary told "The Waddle & Silvy Show." "I will be a linebackers coach/assistant head coach." Singletary was fired as the San Francisco 49ers head coach with one game left in the just-completed regular season. The Hall of Fame linebacker was fired by San Francisco after two disappointing seasons, including a 5-10 showing this season for a franchise that expected to win the NFC West. Singletary was 18-22 in two-plus seasons. Singletary and Frazier were teammates on the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl championship team. Singletary had 1,488 career tackles, recovered 13 fumbles and had seven interceptions in his 12-year career. He went to 10 Pro Bowls and was the top player on the dominant 1985 Chicago defense that allowed fewer than 11 points a game. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6033462
Obviously this is old news, but I just figured I'd throw my two cents in. To me, this is what's going to take Chad Greenway from a good linebacker, to a great linebacker. If E.J. can stay healthy, the same can be said for him.
