George Seifert – San Francisco 49ers
George Seifert took the reigns of the San Francisco 49ers after Bill Walsh retired and had to navigate the transition from Joe Montana to Steve Young. He proved he could handle the pressure, taking the team to two Super Bowls and two wins.
His biggest win came with Steve Young. After Montana retired, Young struggled to overcome the burden of following his greatness. Seifert helped Young get the “monkey off his back” in Super Bowl XXIX, where he threw a record six touchdown passes and was named MVP.
