SAN FRANCISCO — (AP) Mike Singletary became the San Francisco 49ers’ interim head coach Tuesday, replacing his coaching mentor Mike Nolan.Singletary’s appointment gives the NFL seven black head coaches, matching the most in league history. He’s the third coach to take over a club during the current season, joining St. Louis’ Jim Haslett and Oakland’s Tom Cable.
Singletary had been Nolan’s assistant head coach since 2005 with the 49ers (2-5), who went 18-37 in Nolan’s tenure and lost their fourth straight game last Sunday to the New York Giants.
