The STUPIDEST MOMENT of George Seifert's CAREER | Panthers @ Saints (2000)

In week 7 of the 2000 NFL season, the Carolina Panthers traveled down to the Superdome to play the New Orleans Saints in an NFC West rivalry game. And to get his team ready to play on the road and get adjusted to the crowd noise, Seifert decided to do something incredibly stupid during practice that, to the shock of no one, did not work out at all, and almost destroyed his reputation overnight. And it was all because of a leaf blower. This is the story behind George Seifert and perhaps the dumbest moment of his career

I am a huge 49ers fan, George Seifert is a great coach in my view, he did a great job with the 49ers, when they won Super Bowl XXIX there were only 7 starters who played on the 88 and 89 times. He did win with Bill Walsh's players at first but he maintained the system and did a great job. He almost got Carolina to the playoffs in his 1st yr it did go downhill after that, I think he gets a bad rap because he followed Bill Walsh. Mike Ditka was worse in his time in New Orleans. That last season for Seifert ended his HOF chances.

Seifert also bumbled the handling of the quarterback situation. He cut Steve Beuerlein in favor of Jeff Lewis but it backfired in spectacular fashion. That’s one of the reasons why they were 1-15 in 2001

Actually his stupidest moment was his time at CBS prior to this because quite bluntly he did a very poor job of analyzing the game & interacting with the rest of the panel. Between Seifert's time at CBS and the absolute chaos surrounding Jerry Glanville, the first few years of the return of the NFL to CBS weren't good at all.

Long story short -- my father worked with a former player on the 49ers. He was able to get me in to watch their road practice at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium circa 1991 or maybe 1992. I distinctly remember crowd noise coming from the PA system during most of the practice and it was loud. Seifert was the head coach so why the need for leafblowers?

[@Tubewings]

If it was Fulton County Stadium, it would have been 1991, as the Georgia Dome opened in 1992. As for why he used the leafblowers, maybe Seifert forgot about the whole PA thing.

Jackson is the most overrated coach in NBA history. He inherited an elite bulls team lead by MJ-who in 1991 went crying to commissioner Stern about the Pistons physicality. Stern realize that a MJ winning championships would be great for his League. Jackson also got humiliated and outcoached by Larry Brown in a five-game loss to the Pistons in the 2004 Finals. He also lost the 2008 finals by the most lopsided game 7 ever, and got humiliated by the Mavericks in 2011. The so-called greatest coach ever wouldn't have that happen to him.

Seifert was more of a co-coach on San Francisco. Mike Holmgren was paid HC money to stay from 1989 to 1991. Mike Shanahan took over the offense in 1992 through 1994. The plan in San Francisco was for Seifert to stay on through I believe 1996 then move him to the front office and Shanahan would take over... then Denver called... Seifert's worst moves weren't in Carolina. He was given say in personnel in San Francisco. He put Ronnie Lott and Roger Craig on Plan B and traded Charles Haley to the Dallas Cowboys. Then ignored Joe Montana on the practice field in 1992 and ran inside the field house when Montana was promised he could throw for him while Montana chased him. Seifert is a loser. Holmgren should have taken over after Walsh.

That’s right George..DUH🤪!

[@mfdixon1985]

I think it's easier for a coach who's a HOF lock to blow his chances than a player. Voters understand that physical skills erode over time. A guy is not going to be as physically gifted at 35 as he was at 25. But coaching isn't about being physical. It's about decisions. So, a coach should -- at least theoretically -- age a lot more gracefully. When that doesn't happen, it's easier to understand voters holding it against a coach.

[@gorkskoal9315]

except how you make calls at 25 vs 35 or 60 is very different. you might be ballsy at 20, but conservative and twitchy af at 60 or 50. he's still goat!

[@fortynights1513]

Sometimes a coach was handed a great situation and got a lot out of it, but wasn’t capable of getting very far with a middling roster to start with like Siefert. I would say he doesn’t belong in Canton, but I’d also lean towards no even if he never coached in Carolina. Solid coach, and a very good coordinator (perhaps overlooked in that regard because he became a coach), but not quite a Hall of Famer.

[@mfdixon1985]

@@fortynights1513 As a 49ers fan, I'm inclined to agree. I'd actually argue that his time as a DB coach and defensive coordinator might put him over the edge. But he didn't have the NFL longevity of a Dick LaBeau and also wasn't a Steeler (I'm pretty sure everyone associated with the Steelers is considered a HOF until they prove otherwise). I think maybe the argument for him is that while he was handed a great situation, he also saw a lot of turnover. Aside from Rice, Taylor, a few OL and Young (who you can count but was obviously in a different role), there wasn't much holdover from the 89 team to the 94 one. Yet he won the two Super Bowls and went 48-16 in the four seasons between them. That's not just taking over Walsh's team. That's doing really well long after he's gone.

[@fortynights1513]

@@mfdixon1985 Those are fair points. I will say though that what these guys do as coordinators doesn’t appear to be factored in at all when they are judged for Canton. Not saying those tenures shouldn’t be considered, but I don’t recall anyone mentioning them at all other than as a footnote. I would agree that there’s not a necessarily a ton of the roster from 1989 that also was there in 1994, but some observers probably see Young and Rice, and assume he had a lot of talent to work with that Walsh gave him that stayed throughout his tenure. There’s also the perception that the 1994 title was bought more than earned. The 49ers made a lot of free agent signings in 1993 and 1994 (on defense in particular), and I’ve heard people say that that title was won by acquiring more talent than anyone else as opposed to good coaching. Indeed you’ll find guys who made pro bowls or received other individual recognition before that in Tim McDonald, Deion Sanders, and a few others that show up on their roster in 1993 and 94. However correct me if I’m wrong, but were Dana Stubblefield, Bryant Young, and Merton Hanks were all drafted under his watch? I’ve heard the latter was overrated, but still that’s a starter drafted in the fifth round if so. After a year in transition in 1993, the 1994 team had one of the more talented defenses of their generation, but there were several free agent signings. Seifert had an interesting career as a coordinator and coach. If nothing else, he was the head coach for four teams that show up as the best in the regular season by one formula I devised in addition to the two titles and four other playoff wins.

[@mfdixon1985]

@@fortynights1513 Dick LeBeau is the only one that really comes to mind. He was a good player but not a Hall of Famer and certainly wasn't a Hall of Fame head coach. As far as guys drafted under Seifert, you're correct. Stubblefield, Young and Hanks all were. Lee Woodall and Eric Davis both were, as well. Not quite the caliber of the other guys. But very good nevertheless. And that's just the defensive side of the ball. Rickey Watters, William Floyd, later Terrell Owens were all drafted with Seifert as coach. And you can say Young was a Walsh guy. He was acquired by Walsh with the intention of having him replace Montana. But Young, while way overqualified to be a backup, was also pretty inconsistent in his stints filling in for an injured Montana. So, while Seifert inherited Young, he didn't necessarily inherit the Hall of Famer. Anyway, I'm a Seifert fan but given his performance in Carolina, I don't have an issue with him not being in the Hall of Fame. But I do think he deserves more credit than just "inheriting Walsh's team." That's more like Barry Switzer, who the Cowboys steadily imploded under, despite winning a championship.

But he only won two when the Niners realistically should have won more. The Niners should have three peated in 1990 and should have repeated in 1995. Then Carolina got worse every year he was coach.

Kevin Greene lamenting on the sideline to a teammate as the Panthers drop to 0-7.). Seifert had them challenging the Rams for most of the season.

Maaaan idk if he’s not in the hall then Bill Belichick shouldn’t get in imo defensive coordinator for 3 sb teams 2x sb champ as a head coach and the highest winning % of all time??? THATS A HALL OF FAME COACH

[@characterunderconstruction5891]

I didn't want Seifert to take the head coaching job with Carolina. He had a great winning percentage with San Francisco and I didn't want him to ruin that. Now his name doesn't come up when talking about great coaches. I don't know why people talk about Mariucci. I hated to see him come in as Seifert replacement. The 49ers have not won a Super Bowl since Seifert.

[@jacksonberni2172]

You should make a video about what teams have won a championship early in franchise history. For example has an expansion team ever came out and won and the super bowl within their first few years?

[@deadend1041]

Only if you're one of those lunatics that pretends the Baltimore Ravens were an expansion team

Happened in baseball, both the marlins(yr 5) and dbacks(yr 4) won in the first 5 years of their existence, the 1950 Browns(now ravens) won the title in their first season in the nfl, but were already an established aafl team...not truly an expansion team.

George Seifert made a lot of questionable decisions with the panthers. Such as bumbling the handling of the quarterback situation, micromanaging the offense to the point where 2 of his assistant coaches Gil Haskell and Bill Musgrave quit on the team. He would often refuse to listen to input from assistant coaches and players. The list goes on

[@chrishinton9209]

He pissed off a lot of fans with that one. He got rid of Beuerlein when Beuerlein was a top 15 QB but he wanted to get younger and then drafted a guy that was older than Beuerlein.

[@phillyfan-182]

Seifert wanted Jeff Lewis to start but he played so bad in the preseason that he cut him in favor of Chris Weinke. That’s one of the reasons why they were 1-15

Mike Ditkas shitty coaching in New Orleans didnt keep him out of the HOF. Pete Carrolls average coaching before Seattle wont keep him out of the HOF. Why does Seifert get so much hate?

[@vg452]

Side note and IMO: Joe Gibbs might have actually become underrated as a head coach with the passage of time and his NASCAR race team. The man got one more Super Bowl than Seifert and did not have Joe Montana, Steve Young, or Jerry Rice on his team. Heck, even Don Shula had an old Johnny Unitas and Bob Griese, and both are in the Hall.

Ah, I guess environmentally friendly, battery-powered leaf blowers like those designed by Greenworks weren't available yet. This idea got out of hand. George Seifert fell on his sword for the Panthers, blowing the team up after 2000 so the Panthers could escape the mediocrity that had permeated throughout their play since 1997. Seifert hurt is Hall of Fame chances and maybe he was more an excellent coach than architect of a franchise, but I believe his decision made it easier for the John Fox-led team to play with a clean slate (Seifert's other problem was that rookie veteran Chris Weinke was totally ineffective for the 2001 Panthers, but Seifert did bring aboard team building blocks such as Steve "attitude of steel" Smith, Kris Jenkins, & Dan Morgan while slashing payroll to a respectable level. Do the Bossa nova!).

It's kind of sad everybody forgets that George Seifert was a great defensive coordinator. All too often we hear about Bill Walsh's offense but how good would Bill Walsh's offense have been without George seifert's defense. Even with that time in Carolina there's no way that that should stand between George Seifert for being in the Hall of Fame his numbers are too good and all those playoff wins and the two super bowls and his time as the defensive coordinator not to mention the Hall of Fame players he coached Steve Young. I think the real reason why they won't put him in and never would have anyway even if he wouldn't have went to Carolinas because they would always use the he was just using the players from Bill Walsh

[@fortynights1513]

Part of the reason why his stint as a coordinator is forgotten regardless of how it went is the fact that he became a head coach, so obviously that overshadows the earlier, lower position.
