New 49ers' Head Coach Mike Singletary hopes to build on the foundation formed by Mike Nolan and believes that the team has something special. "Right now, the guys realize that we do have something here," Singletary said. "To what degree, I don't know, but we do have something special here. It's a matter of stepping in and being able to bring it together, and that's something I've done all my life." Singletary, a former linebacker who made the Hall of Fame during his stellar career with the Bears, acknowledged mixed feelings when the 49ers asked him to be the interim successor to Nolan.
