    That should be interesting. Is he going to be a consular? a LBer coach? a TE coach? a motivational speaker?

    Rams hire Mike Singletary in defensive advisory role

    Jeff Fisher is bringing in Mike Singletary to serve in a defensive advisory role. Other job details are not known at this time.

    Mike Singletary is back in the coaching ranks! The Los Angeles Rams have hired Singletary in a defensive advisory role. The former San Francisco 49ers head coach confirmed the news on Tuesday during a radio interview. Singletary has been out of the NFL after spending 2011 to 2013 as Minnesota Vikings linebackers coach.

    Singletary has been looking to get back into the NFL, and wants to work his way toward another head coaching job. In an extensive interview with The Big Lead earlier this year, Singletary went into detail about some of the work he has done to prepare himself for a new opportunity. He talked about not wanting to coach linebackers again, but rather, work his way up to a coordinator role, and potentially a head coach again.

    There are no details yet about the job, but it would likely be a potential stepping stone to bigger things. Rams head coach Jeff Fisher played with Singletary on the Chicago Bears, and learned many of the tricks of the trade from former Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan. It is no surprise that an opportunity might present itself with a Fisher-led team.

    And of course, that means a brief reunion of sorts with the 49ers when Week 1 rolls around. The 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams on the Monday Night Football double-header. I’m guessing we’ll hear a thing or two about Singletary and the 49ers, as well as Singletary, Jeff Fisher, and Buddy Ryan following Ryan’s recent passing.

    The death of Buddy Ryan on Tuesday has led to remembrances from around the football world, including many from players he coached across many stops in his long career.

    Mike Singletary was one of the leaders of the most famous defense that Ryan put together. The 1985 Bears defense ransacked the league on their way to the Super Bowl, which ended with Ryan being carried off the field along with head coach Mike Ditka. Singletary has spoken about his respect for Ryan many times, including saying that he would have been just another guy if not for Ryan’s tutelage during the recent 30 for 30 film about that Bears team.

    Singletary followed in Ryan’s footsteps by becoming a coach when his playing days were over and rose to head coach of the 49ers for two-plus seasons before moving back into the assistant ranks with the Vikings from 2011-2013. He’s been out of the league for the last couple of years, but said during an interview with 670 The Score in Chicago on Tuesday that he’ll be back at work in 2016.

    He’ll be working with another of Ryan’s former charges as a defensive advisor for the Rams. Rams head coach Jeff Fisher spent 1985 on injured reserve after playing for the Bears for the previous four seasons and interviewed Singletary for a defensive coordinator vacancy in 2013 before moving in a different direction.

    There’s been no word from the Rams about what Singletary’s duties will be in Los Angeles at this point, but, as with all defenses, the ultimate goal will be to get as close to that 1985 Bears ideal as possible.

    Good addition I think. He wasn’t ready to be a Head Coach,
    but Singletary can help them this year.

    i said it before, and i’m going to keep saying it. i think his effect on ogletree could be a very positive one.

    and not necessarily just in terms of knowledge of the defense. cuz i’m sure it’s changed since singletary was playing in this defense for the bears. but just the attitude at the middle linebacker position. i’m just hoping he becomes a mentor to ogletree and can help him get to the next level. to be a leader as well as a playmaker for this defense.
