Interesting blurb about Vermeil...
 

from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch...

"To this day, Vermeil still grimaces at the thought of his summit (offseason) meetings with Rams brass. The meeting after a 4-12 finish in 1998 has taken on near-legendary proportions. As the story goes, Vermeil wanted Mike White as his offensive coordinator and Jeff Hostetler as his quarterback. He got Mike Martz and Trent Green instead, with the help of some arm-twisting from team management."

Meanwhile, Carl continues to let his head coaches hire who they want...

Jeff Hostetler?? ROFL

He'd been in pr0n for 4 years by the time that season rolled around.

The problem with the Chiefs is that Carl let DV pick the players. Shit Herm is a dream in terms of drafting players.

That's why he was supporting the pr0n mustache.

Wow. Who knew Vermeil was so inept.

I did.

Good God, is this true?

Me too.

I wonder what people see when they say he's a HOF coach.

I see a record that's something like 10 games over .500 and a Lombardi Trophy that his offensive and defensive coordinators were 95% responsible for.

Yep.

I've mentioned it a couple of times here.

Martz was forced on him. With Martz came Trent.

If we know it then certainly Carl knew it but he hired him anyway knowing he was flawed regarding coaches and players. UNBELIEVEABLE.

This thread is ABSURD. Dick Vermeil poops brilliance and pisses excellence. Everything he does is art.

Hostetler was thirty-****ing-seven in 1998.

How dumb is Vermeil? Jeez.

LMAO

Let's just say that he almost makes the people at WPI look like they aren't too dumb by comparison.

Remember who Vermeil wanted instead of LJ.
