Nolan to Billy Davis: You're Fired!

Last night Damon Bruce of KNBR reported that the 49ers head coach Mike Nolan was going to fire current defensive coordinator Billy Davis sometime today. Well it is now official according to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Davis has been with the 49ers the past two seasons and his defenses have been subpar. Along with Davis the 49ers also fired defensive line coach Gary Emanuel. Neither of these fires should come as a surprise since both the defensive and the defensive line played poorly this season.

Early reports to replace Davis as DC is current linebackers coach and assistant head coach Mike Singletary. Singletary has been coaching for only four years and some question whether he is ready for a defensive coordinating gig. Nolan also did not rule out any other candidates currently on the market.

All I can say is finally. I have been waiting for this since October.
