49ers reportedly will keep Singletary
December 27
Kansas City Star
"Team officials plan on removing the interim label from fan favorite Mike Singletary and offering him a multiyear contract, according to a source close to the situation.
The offer likely will be made immediately after the team's season finale Sunday against Washington.
The Rooney Rule prevents teams from signing interim coaches to new deals during the season.
Because Singletary is a minority, however, the 49ers do not have to go through a formal interview process at season's end.
Under Singletary, defensive coordinator Greg Manusky would be retained for next season. Offensive coordinator Mike Martz however, would not."
