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.
