Something happens to football coaches after they win Super Bowls. They start to believe they can do and say anything they want.
Jon Gruden thinks he's projecting towheaded adorableness when he's spouting cliches in the Monday Night Football booth. Tony Dungy turned into America's sanctimonious dad after the Colts beat a so-so Bears team in the XLI edition of the big game. And Dick Vermeil makes guarantees that aren't worth shit.
We got to thinking about Vermeil upon learning that former Chiefs President and G.M. Carl Peterson will not join the Dolphins' front office. Vermeil once predicted that Peterson would have his choice of jobs if he left the Chiefs.
Peterson was considered a candidate in Miami because he and team owner Steve Ross go back to the USFL. Itinerant football man Bill Parcells relinquished his hold on the Dolphins' football operations before the 2010 season began.
Chiefs fans may recall that Peterson raced to Miami after he got sacked stepped down at the end of the Chiefs' 2008 season. Peterson stood on the sidelines of a Dolphins playoff game, a flipper pin in his lapel, in attempt to let everyone know he was still important.
But he's not. No NFL team has asked Peterson to help them draft terrible defensive linemen or soak fans, two of King Carl's specialties.
Vermeil didn't think it was going to down like this. Before the 2008 season, he told The Kansas City Star that Peterson would be a hot item if he ever became a free agent. "If it does happen (that he leaves), he'll have the equal job in a week," Vermeil said. "There aren't any other Carl Petersons out there."
Actually, people who manage their bosses better than they manage organizations (another Carl specialty) are pretty easy to find, Dick. Time to take off the diapers and admit you blew that one.
