This is a George Seifert appreciation post. His work as the defensive coordinator for the 49ers from 1983 to 1988 (previously the defensive backs coach from 1980 to 1982) goes almost totally unrecognized nowadays, but he was vital to the success of the dynasty as a position coach, coordinator and head coach.
