Everything about George Seifert totally explained
George Seifert (born
January 22,
1940 in
San Francisco, California) is a former
NFL head coach of the
San Francisco 49ers and the
Carolina Panthers. Seifert joined the 49ers' coaching staff under
Bill Walsh in 1980 as defensive backs coach and served as the team's defensive coordinator from 1983-88.
As a 49er assistant, his defenses finished in the top ten in fewest points allowed in each of his six seasons in that capacity - 4th in 1983, 1st in 1984, 2nd in 1985, 3rd in 1986 and 1987, and 8th in 1988. His final two defenses, 1987 and 1988, finished first and third in fewest yards allowed, respectively. In 1989, he was elevated to head coach, He is one of only twelve NFL head coaches with more than one
Super Bowl victory, winning in convincing fashion during both the 1989 and 1994 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. In all, Seifert coached on five Super Bowl champion teams with the 49ers.
With a career win-loss record of 114-62 in the regular season and 10-5 in the postseason (all with the 49ers), many consider Seifert to be among the greatest NFL head coaches of all time. However, critics argue that his two
Super Bowl victories and exceptional win-loss record resulted from inheriting Bill Walsh's 49ers team. They point to his abysmal 16-32 record as head coach of the Carolina Panthers, which included no playoff appearances and ended after the
2001 season when the team finished with a 1-15 record. However, little was left from the Walsh era when Seifert led the
49ers to winning
Super Bowl XXIX. In addition, many well-respected coaches,
Mike Shanahan,
Jeff Fisher,
Ray Rhodes,
Pete Carroll, and Mark Trestman, worked and learned under Seifert. He is one of the six main branches of the Bill Walsh
coaching tree.
Seifert also coached in college, leading
Westminster College and
Cornell University's football teams. He was also an assistant at the
University of Utah (his alma mater),
Stanford University, the
University of Oregon and the
University of Iowa.
