That's on the mark. Although I think Vermeil was just as much of a perfectionist as those other guys, if not more so. That's why he'd run his team into the ground with three+ hour practices until they hated him. Even in KC, guys like Willie Roaf blame him for shortening his career. Just because he came across as a nice guy in press conferences, doesn't mean he was soft on the players.
