We had a championship caliber football team TWICE during the Vermeil era...2003 and 2005 (didn't make the playoffs in 2005 but I STILL believe we were the best team on paper...things just didn't fall our way)...

If we got Vermeil when he was 50...he would have been an outstanding coach and I guarantee we would have won a Super Bowl during his tenure. It wasn't just luck that he put together that Rams team...he did the same thing in KC but the defense came up short...that dude was a football mastermind that could at least admit mistakes.

Yes, I know Vermeil put GREAT offenses. Shanahan's offense wasn't up to Vermeil's offense style point, but they did the job done one way or another.

I wouldn't guarentee on the Vermeil issue, since the Lambs had one of the terrible defenses during his time in St. Louis. That's when management finally told him that either you can quit, or you can stay on, but we will hire the defensive coordinator for the job.

I mean, Vermeil did bring in Greg ****ing Robinson, for goodness sakes.
