The San Francisco 49ers have fired head coach Mike Singletary with just one game left to play in the NFL season.

Singletary had a record below .500 in his three years with the 49ers, and there were high expectations entering this season.
The head coach had a number of confrontations with players, including a heated exchange with quarterback Troy Smith during Sunday’s game. (Read More…)

The San Francisco 49ers hung tough early but didn’t have enough offense to keep up with the Green Bay Packers in a 34-16 loss.
San Francisco’s secondary had no answer for the Green Bay passing game. Greg Jennings and Donald Driver torched them for long touchdowns.

Quarterback Troy Smith only completed 10 passes on the day, throwing for 195 yards and a touchdown. (Read More…)

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore will miss the rest of the season after breaking his hip.
Gore was injured early in the team’s rout of the Arizona Cardinals. He tried to return to the game, but then left for good.
Brian Westbrook saw a lot of the action with Gore out of the lineup and ran well, finishing with 136 yards and a touchdown.
The veteran is likely to get the bulk of the carries the rest of the season with Anthony Dixon also seeing time. (Read More…)
