Failure.

FringeNC · 01-01-2006, 08:06 PM

I don't think Vermeil's legacy can be written yet. We have another year or two to do something with the O he put together.

Brock · 01-01-2006, 08:06 PM

A tragic waste.

Hammock Parties · 01-01-2006, 08:07 PM

Underachieving. Dick himself said the Chiefs should have been in the playoffs 3 out of the 5 years.

The Chiefs tried four different approaches towards the defense under his command and failed to produce results. He is ultimately responsible for this failure.

Jenson71 · 01-01-2006, 08:07 PM

Some good, some bad. Now he's gone. Next!

I would agree with that, except that we got just about what I expected when Dick was hired.

I like Vermeil a lot. I think, at the time, it was a good hire.

But his team's legacy is inconsistency. His personal legacy is stubborness - not firing GR was a fatal mistake, he put his own concerns above what was best FOR THE TEAM.

And he presided over 5 years of the worst defense EVER played in the NFL.

1 playoff game and 0 wins is unacceptable, and he knows it. Dude was making $4 mill a year.

He failed. I don't hate him for it. But I'm glad we're getting a new coach.

**KcMizzou** · 01-01-2006, 08:09 PM

I appreciate what he did, but it's time for a change

As I said in another thread... I think he's a good coach, and a great person. I can't help but be a little sad to see him go, but I think it's probably time.

Eleazar · 01-01-2006, 08:09 PM

I like Vermeil and am sorry to see him go, but it probably was time for a change.

The Greg Robinson hire doomed the Vermeil era from the start. 2005 is now over, five full seasons later, and the franchise has still never recovered from it. In the end I think we can lay blame for not getting it done during Vermeil's time here on the Robinson hire and the inability of the organization, top to bottom, to improve the defensive line and defensive backfield.

Vermeil did a lot of things right, probably did most things right, but unfortunately it only takes one bad move to collapse the house of cards you're trying to build in the NFL as a head coach.

Is there a little mod abuse going on here?
