Dick Vermeil elected to the Hall of Fame
 

Just announced at NFL Honors.

Could have been the only coach to take 3 different teams to the Super Bowl, if we could have fielded a competent defense.

He took every team he coached except the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.

well deserved


someday I hope to be enshrined in something

Good.

In spite of coming up short so often with him, I have irrational fond memories of that era of Chiefs football.

Again, I know we didn't win anything, and his loyalty to certain defensive players and coaches is arguably what cost us a Super Bowl, but those were fun teams.

Also... he continues to be a huge fan of Andy Reid and KC. After the Rams shootout game, he's right here wearing KC swag, not Rams gear.

My best shot is a Pompeii-type enshrining if the Yellowstone supervolcano goes off.

He also help sell the Chiefs to Reid.

nice, you gotta love Dick Vermeil.

I think we will all fit in that mold.

It is about time, he should have been in after the Rams won the Superbowl

Vermeil the 3rd former Chiefs HC in the HOF (Hank Stram and Marv Levy).

Assuming Andy Reid will get in eventually and hopefully Marty will as well…nearly 40% of Chiefs HC’s will be in the HOF.

Good. Deserved. Was a great coach who won a SB. Also, was the head coach and decision maker behind two of the most inspiring stories of a person becoming an NFL player that you will ever hear. Pretty cool.

Awesome. Amazing coach. Loyal to a fault. God we were so damn close. If he had a gm who challenged him just a little bit he would’ve easily won a super bowl in kc. Big reason he won a super bowl in stl was because the front office forced him to move away from Tony banks and embrace Marty and Faulk

GodDAMN.

I could have done without that specific stat. That brings back a flood PChiefsSD. ****.

I’m happy he got in. Totally deserves it.

That team with Priest, Roaf, Waters, Shields leading the way was possibly just as powerful as todays offense.

Congrats to him. a good coach that belongs in there.

If you don't love Dick Vermeil, there's something wrong with you.

Congrats, coach!

The way Vermeil built the best offense in the league out of retreads and spare parts is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen a coach do.

It's easy to forget how crazy it really was. Trent Green was 31 years old with only 19 career starts. Priest was 28 and two years removed from his only season as a primary ball carrier, including college. Kennison had quit on Denver after bouncing around three teams in three years. Wiegmann was an undersized 28 year old career backup. Waters was a converted TE. Roaf was 32 and coming off a blown out knee; the Saints even tried to put him in the expansion draft but couldn't, because he couldn't pass a physical.

I remember being upset when Vermeil missed the playoffs in 2005 with a good 10-6 team before retiring. There's a good chance that team would've been one and done again, but I also felt that team could've made some noise too. Somehow a shitty Broncos team with Jake Plummer and Mike Anderson went 13-3 and hosted the AFC Championship that year.

Vince Papale and Lawrence Phillips?

ROFL

Stopped reading @ KC Star. :deevee:

I know I love Dick.

DV and Dante!

Man, those were some fun years. Loudest I've ever heard Arrowhead.

Congrats, Coach!

basically he coin flipped into Kurt Warner, Trent Green's knee going out, and into the HOF LMAO

He was a .500 coach who had 8 losing seasons in 15 years

I'm guessing his speech will include the "World Champions 1999 St. Louis Rams"

I'm no fan of his. Sure enough he won a couple SBs, but what did he do for the KC Chiefs? He couldn't even win a playoff game.

This is about like putting Gary Kubiak in the HOF

Cool. I always liked him. Too bad he didn't know how to put together a competent defense.

That and mostly bawling.

56-10 my favorite Dick Vermeil game and I was at Arrowhead when we throttled 8 rushing touchdowns against the #1 ranked rushing defense week 7 against Michael Vic ran Atalanta Falcons. We lined up our long snapper as a DE and he got two sacks on Michael Vic. The story of the day 8 rushing touchdowns 4 first half Priest Holmes and second half ST guy Derrick Blaylock with 4 rushing touchdowns. Willie Roaf was eating lineman and linebackers on sweeps and FB Trent Richardson laid the wood on defensive backs and also linebackers.

If anyone else was there that day, I'm sure George B, could elaborate on that day but I remember doing the waive in the second quarter. What a fun day.


God Bless Dick Vermiel and congratulations on HOF well deserved.

Definitely

So, when does Todd Haley go in?

After Squirmen Herman Edwards gets in. I always wonder how Buehler445 feels about Herman Edwards :hmmm: I don't think he has ever told us?

I was there, don't remember the wave though. I usually abstain from that nonsense anyway.

The wave generally sucks ass.

Went to Cardinals game 162 a couple years ago when they had to win to make the playoffs. Tie game in the 8th inning and some dumb bitch kept trying to get our section to start the wave.

Are you ****ing kidding me? This is playoff baseball. Sit down and watch the damn game. No one wants to do the ****ing wave right now.

Ask KC Dan how I feel about ****ing beach balls at the AFC Championship Game.

How many times has Gary ****ing Kubiak been portrayed as a lead character in a movie?

Put some respect on his name!

I was hoping to get my hands on one of those so I could pop it.

Let's just say this, you could take current both the Rams and 9iners d-lines and combine both of them for an all-star line up with a stacked box of linebackers/safeties and our o-line from 2002-2005 would still absolutely OWN THEM !!;) I will never forget when they had Ray Lewis crying on the sideline on a Monday night game.

Coming back after burnout, losing your handpicked qb in preseason and having to go with an arena league grocery store carry out boy, and winning the whole thing with one of the most ridiculous offenses the NFL has ever seen.

Had he not made the snap decision to retire right after the SB win, a decision he's on record saying he regretted, the Rams probably win a couple more Superbowls, and the Chiefs would never have had the Trent Green and Priest Holmes show.

Well deserved, coach. Congratulations.

There’s no reality where they win more than 1 SB post-1999.

The defense in 2000 was terrible. Giunta wouldn’t have been fired.

They maybe make the POs a handful of additional times but that’s about it.

If you love beach balls and the wave - you will LOVE games at Dodgers stadium. At least from the time the majority of fans show up in the 3rd inning to the time they leave in the 7th.

I posted Dick Vermeil name in a post on Face Book and it wouldn't let me post it until I took out his name "Dick". That was on a Chiefs Kingdom fan page.


I don't really know what Smiles face I should use to express my feelings bewildered is one but we don't have that in Smilies

:shrug:

or this one probably fits :spock:


Still wtf Face Book sucks I don't know why I bother with it half the shit you can't post because they are pretty much ran by post Nazis.

Is that pic a mashup of Rich Eisen and Dick Vermeil?

I loved Dick Vermiel he was definitely innovated and had some success but I'm not sure he's a HOF coach
