You never hear of analysts and announcers being fired in the middle of the season just because they're that bad at their jobs. However, in 1998, that's exactly what happened with former San Francisco 49ers head coach and eventual Carolina Panthers head coach George Seifert. When CBS brought back The NFL Today, and brought along Jim Nantz, Marcus Allen, and Brent Jones to pair with Seifert, Seifert did such a bad job that in an unprecedented move that had never happened before and has never happened since, he was let go in the middle of the 1998 NFL season. This is the story behind that

That 2001 season was just a terrible ending to Seifert’s coaching career! This is the guy who cut Steve Beuerlein after 2000 who was recently a pro bowler for them, because Seifert wanted an upgrade in a more “younger and agile quarterback” And then all he did that offseason in upgrading the QB position was drafting Chris Weinke in the 4th round and sticking with little known backup QB Jeff Lewis (who got at the end of training camp) The Panthers went 1-15 that season...

I mean, those pre-season interviews are pretty telling. He was worried and anxious to the point of concern and he didn't even consult with any other broadcasters or coaches. He may have been acceptable if he'd put in any effort. And as JG9 points out...it's not like Seifert was exactly a quote machine as a head coach. He definitely wasn't a character like his replacement, Jerry Glanville. As a personality he was like a way-more-successful Jeff Fisher.

@TMC1982Part2 2 года назад

@@pronkb000 CBS was trying as the video states, emulate Fox by having two ex-players (I guess Marcus Allen was the Howie Long of their show, being that he's an ex-Raider too with Brent Jones being the Ronnie Lott, being that he's also an ex-49ers) and a coach, with George Seifert in the Jimmy Johnson role to Jim Nantz's James Brown. The problem from the start is that Seifert isn't exactly an entertaining "character" or somebody who you would immediately think as being super-charismatic like Jimmy Johnson or other ex-coaches turned analysts like John Madden, Jerry Glanville, Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs, Hank Stram, or Mike Ditka. I'm not necessarily saying that being soft-spoken or having a decidedly milquetoast personality is necessarily a negative thing (Tony Dungy on NBC today, you can argue, fits this type of description) as long as you're able to say something truly substantial to make up for it.

I even went through their 1998 NFL Commentators list and there's no discussion of Seifert at all. Granted, that thread is about in-game broadcasters but the discussions would touch on studio crews as well. And I was watching the NFL pretty closely at this time, too. When I think of studio talking head disasters, I think of Joe Montana with NBC a few years before this. Not as bad as Seifert but a guy who for a legendary QB had very little to offer or to say. He at least lasted a full year or two, though.

NFL Films did a documentary on Bill Walsh. Walsh was seriously burnt out from the years of long hours and extremely high expectations he placed on himself. I think eventually it took a toll on him, made him less effective. For his own well being it's a good thing he retired when he did (Walsh was also getting up there in age when his career finished, and I don't think he took full time job again).

@walterlv01 20 дней назад

The problem CBS had at the time was that there wasn't a lot of available talent for a studio show. FOX had a perfect confluence of events when they started in 1994; got JB and Bradshaw as free agents from CBS and Long/Johnson had just retired/left Dallas that same year and both turned out to be naturals at the job. But in 1998 the FOX talent was entrenched and the guys on the NBC studio show all were better suited as game commentators (Collinsworth, Cross, Wyche). Nobody they put on in the first few years worked out. The show didn't finally stabilize until Esiason and Marino came on a few years later.

@timothyflanigan1777 2 года назад

it does not matter what sport, being a great coach or player does not mean you will be an excellent broadcaster or analyst. i remember the year after dean smith retired, he worked for cbs as a studio analyst on the ncaa tournament. one of the greatest coaches does not equal being a great analyst.

@greghh2223 2 года назад

"The chemistry between he and Jones and Alan never got any better." Does anything strike you as illiterate in this sentence? It doesn't occur to our proud commentator, of course. It's "...between him and Jones and Alan," of course. We don't say "with he" because "him" is the object of the preposition. It still is if we add "Jones and Alan": "with him and Jones and Alan." I don't normally sneer at petty illiteracy, but this man is so snide about Coach Seifert's perfectly harmless failure to be a colorful announcer, I can't resist. I wonder what this man's parents were like. Only in America.

@stevenbauer4799 2 года назад

Not just seifert but remember ronnie lott on cbs looked like he took too many shots to the head. Montana could barely complete a sentence without bumbling thru it. Even worse was non niner LT who was on tnt studio show when they shared snf package. He sounded like his mind was long blown from coke just stuttering along foaming at the mouth. And the worst is michael 'mumbles' irvin. Can't understand a #kn thing coming from his mouth. It sounds like it is still racing from coke. other niners on the nets besides jones-randy cross for years did color on cbs, steve young on nfl ten. I guess outside of the occasional work on nfl ten rice was smart to stay out of the booth. Even tho he does a good copper back brace commericial with farve.

To your point about Seifert coaching himself out of the Hall of Fame, there was another coach who replaced a Super Bowl-winning coach at the end of a decade. This coach posted a record in his first stop of 83-53 in the equivalent of 8 1/2 seasons of coaching. In his second coaching stop he posted a record of 14-34. In his first year with the new team they set a record for offensive futility by scoring only 140 points. I’ll see who can figure out who this other coach is, but I’ll just say he is Forever Enshrined in Canton.

@pronkb000 2 года назад

I would guess this particular coach was helped by a.) not quite going 1-15 (and in fact having a season twice as good--2 wins instead of 1), and b.) even for his worst team, having a top-3 defense and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year--i.e., something tangibly good to point to.

The thing with Seifert (49ers fan here), he was a great coach, but he was terrible at personnel. The team lost talent gradually as we got deeper into the 90s, which is what allowed the Cowboys and then the Packers to surpass us. The 1994 draft was a bright spot, but overall, we were horrendous at drafting from 1989 to 1996. And this is in spite of picking up talent like Ricky Watters, Dana Stubblefield, and Terrell Owens in other drafts outside of 1994. Had they had someone in that org making personnel decisions, the Carolina stint might have gone better.

In an interview on the first day of training camp that year, Seifert was asked about his goals for the season. He said that he just wanted to leave the program in good shape for the next staff. He literally admitted that the tank was going to happen. Panthers had just cut all of the starting defensive lineman from the previous year, and the starting QB Steve Buerlien who had led the league in passing yards and second in TD's in 1999. The Panthers had a lot of young talent ( Steve Smith, Dan Morgan, and Kris Jenkins were all rookies) and could have easily won 6 or more games, but set a league record at the time for blown fourth quarter leads and losses by 8 points or less. The local media would joke about how they kept "finding" ways to lose. The tank job paid off. We drafted future Hall of Famer Julius Peppers along with Deshuan Foster and went to the Superbowl two years later. It was definitely worth it to let the Bills win that day.

@aarondersnah863 2 года назад

My Detroit Lions, in the first year of the disaster that was Matt Millen as GM, finished that season at 2-14, one game worse than the 3-13 Bills. I remember that even though Carolina ended up losing 15 straight games that year, late night talk show host Jay Leno spent more time trashing the Lions and their 12 game losing streak, probably because the Lions lost their 12 straight before getting their first win. I also remember how it seemed like such a "Lions thing" where they could have such a bad season, but only end up with the 3rd overall pick in the 2002 draft. This was because in addition to Carolina having a worse record, the expansion Houston Texans were granted the number 1 pick. Knowing the Lions, they probably still would have taken Joey Harrington with their first round pick regardless of whether the pick was at No. 1, No 2, or No. 3.

@@Bigchet1223 I thought he was pretty good on football--his call of the Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl in particular is fantastic. "James...THE LATERAL!!!" still gives me chills.

@gluserty 2 года назад

This was a rough beginning for the new CBS pregame show; sure, there's Seifert, but I don't think ANY of it worked. Duller than dishwater, no energy in the studio, just nothing for an audience to hang its hat on. But yeah, next season was MUCH better. As Seifert's Panthers stint goes, I see it as a mixed bag: the franchise tried the patchwork system early on, which lead to competitive mediocrity (15-17), then Seifert blew it up and kind of fell on his sword in 2001 (losing those final 15 games). But players who weren't ready or were just getting going that Seifert drafted (Steve Smith, Kris Jenkins, Mike Rucker, Dan Morgan, to name a few) formed the backbone of a Panthers team that was in a Super Bowl just 2 seasons later (Seifert's biggest problem is that in 2001 29-year-old Chris Weinke was not any good at all, although he seems to be a fine QB teacher). I admire Seifert sacrificing himself to actually improve a franchise, and I consider him Hall of Fame worthy (he had some great defenses in San Francisco, and he can also do The Dance of Love, so I also like that).

@ryanstrnad1852 2 года назад

I liked George, great coach, good man and all. But yes, he struggled in the studio. He could've maybe passed as some sort of "guest" studio analyst during a playoff game or something (where some tend to talk slow or be timid with the understanding that their "real" job is barking orders from the sidelines). But not in a permanent setting like this. If I recall, The NFL Today summoned Craig James in from their College Football show in which he would do permanently the following season.

Whose fault is it when things like this happen. The network says "Hey Coach, want to make a butt-ton of money running your mouth pre-game". Coach say "Sure, why the hell not". And then he just shows up, runs his mouth and gets paid un-Godly sums of money. Guess I really can't blame George, hey, it was a gig. No one got hurt. As for me, I stopped watching pre-game over 20 years ago. I just want to see the games, I have no interest in listening to these guys drone on and on about what may or may not occur in a game that is about to be played.

"As for me, I stopped watching pre-game over 20 years ago. I just want to see the games, I have no interest in listening to these guys drone on and on about what may or may not occur in a game that is about to be played." This is why the first NFL Today (NFC version, w/Musburger, George, Cross, Greek, et al.) was legendary in sports broadcasting, and NFL broadcasting-- because it was just a half-hour at 12:30 Sundays, and then on with the show; no droning whatsoever.

Nantz was "the equivalent of an MVP baseball player on a team that finished it's season with 100 losses" He was more like the guy on a 100 loss team who goes to the all star game because MLB rules dictate somebody has to represent every team.

I don't like Nantz on PBP, but he's a pitch-perfect announcer for The Masters. His brand of hyper-sentimentality fits Augusta like a glove.
