Anyone who thinks the NFL has hit its quota for fired coaches should sit tight and wait about a week. Mike Singletary became the fourth coach canned when the San Francisco 49ers cut ties Sunday, hours after losing at St. Louis to fall to 5-10.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported team owner Jed York has begun a search for a new general manager and ultimately a new head coach. Singletary may not even be on the sidelines for the team' |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Mike Singletary's days with the San Francisco 49ers appear numbered.

He said money isn't an object in this decision considering Singletary has two years remaining on his contract. San Francisco (5-10) was eliminated from playoff contention in a season that began with high hopes of winn |
