The 2010 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 61st in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall and their third under head coach Mike Singletary. The 49ers were looking to build upon their 8–8 season in 2009 and were expected by many to win the NFC West for the first time since 2002;[1] however, they lost each of their first five games and ended up with a 6–10 record as they failed to reach the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season. The 49ers originally retained Jimmy Raye as the offensive coordinator, marking the first time since Greg Knapp in 2003 that the 49ers had the same offensive coordinator for more than one season; however, after their third loss to start the season, the 49ers fired Raye and promoted quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson to offensive coordinator.[2] Ultimately, head coach Singletary was himself fired before the last game of the season.
