I like Vermeil, and I like Herm, he was the guy I wanted us to hire, but I'm tired of hearing the comparisons to be honest. It's over, it was a different time, different coach, different players. We don't know what Dick Vermeil would've done with this team, and we don't know what Herm Edwards would've done with the last few teams.
Plus, I'm tired of hearing this crap about how Vermeil didn't want a "team". Go watch the 2003 highlights again, you'll find after one of the games... I believe it's Baltimore... you'll see the grand poobah himself, Carl Peterson, in the locker room, holding up a football... proclaiming how we now had a football "team". Now three years later, that's all been erased, Vermeil was the offensive dictator who propped up the offense and urinated in the defensive's players frosted flakes every morning. Carl was apparently lying. DV always had better defenses than offenses until he coached here. But apparently when he came to KC he just defied all logic and said "Screw all the values that got me to 2 Super Bowls, it's mad scientist time! Weee!" (insert AdamKC cartoon). I mean, at the end of the day he didn't get it done, but I get tired of the excuses and lack of responsiblity. Vermeil was the only one who showed any sense of responsibility, he knew he'd run his course and got out. No excuses, no stabbing Gun or G-Rob or anybody in the back, he just tipped his cap and went on his way. At least you can respect that. Instead we have coaches and fans and Bob Gretz's making excuses and trying to compare guys and all this other garbage.
