I did, it's about Singletary's actions towards Vernon Davis, "calling him out" in the press conference and kicking him out of the game, not just "calling him out on the sidelines" as you falsely suggested. I'm sorry you were so confused.

Yes, that must be why he used the same words I did:

I must have been so confused as to comment precisely about what the OP wrote. Now, run along and find yourself a clue.

You wrote some nonsense about being "called out on the sidelines." The "calling out" occurred in the postgame press conference after he kicked him out of the game, and that was what the CBS crew was talking about. More "height of irony" from you, carry on embarrassing yourself.

The "calling out" happened both on the sidelines and in the press conference.

We won't know if Singletary's moves were good or bad until it plays out both on the field and in that locker room. However, the nonsense about it being wrong to call out these players on the field and/or to send them to the showers is just that.
Singletary is a motivational type coach and you only get short term success at best with that approach. To have long term success you need a program with a solid foundation of identifying good talent, good coaching on the field, and a way to keep players from getting comlacent. Singletary alone doesn't bring that. His guys will stop listening after a while. His press conference was embarrassing - it was more about him than his team, regardless of what he said. He's a modern Ditka, who was a one-trick pony.
Singletary shouldn't have called out Davis publicly because then his players won't trust him. If Davis isn't playing the way he needs to, coach him up or get a guy who can and cut or trade Davis - calling him out is a stunt.

Coaches call out players all the time. Hell, it wasn't all that long ago that Patriots fans had one of the most famous "Caller outers" as their head coach. Parcells and "she" is just one obvious example.

True, and I don't totally agree with the person that you were responding to either, but I also think that Parcells has been generally overrated as a coach. He was lucky enough to have Belichick around for a long time, and look at what he did without him (not much). Belichick is the opposite extreme, in that he never calls anyone out publicly, and I daresay that he could pretty much write the book on how to properly motivate and manage players.

Doing it publicly can backfire - notice BB never does it. Just because Parcells did it with Glenn doesn't mean it works.
You want guys to be confident and trust that if they do what you're asking them to do after putting in all that work, you'll be on their side.
