 The Panthers hired former San Francisco 49ers head coach George Seifert to replace Capers, and he led the team to an record in 1999.The team finished in 2000 and fell to in 2001, winning their first game but losing their last 15.This performance tied the NFL record for most losses in a single season and it broke the record held by the winless 1976 Buccaneers for most consecutive losses in a single season (both records have since been broken by the 2008 Lions), leading the Panthers to fire Seifert.
