On George Seifert’s 49th birthday, the 49ers won the Super Bowl. Seifert was promoted to succeed Bill Walsh as 49ers head coach the following season. In Super Bowl XXIV he became the first rookie head coach to win the Super Bowl since Don McCafferty coached the Baltimore Colts to victory in Super Bowl V. In all, Seifert coached on five Super Bowl champion teams with the 49ers. His last season as coach of the Niners was 1996. In 1999, he was hired by Carolina. Seifert did not re-enact the magic there, going 16-32 in three seasons.
