Vermeil actually worked for some great owners .I just saw Kurt Warner tell Dick Vermiel that he was being inducted into the Pro Football HOF... Coach Vermeil's first word were, I want to thank my owners....that's a man that respects the chain of command and is humbled by the opportunities that he got.
Congratulations, Coach...
It was his great upset at UCLA in the Rose Bowl over Woody Hayes Ohio State Buckeyes that provided him his first opportunity in Philadelphia under Leonard Tose.
Tose swooped in secretly with a helicopter (that was a big deal at the time) and hires Dick Vermeil to coach the team.
