The national respect for Dick Vermeil truly transcends football. Considered one of the finest innovators and motivators the game has ever known, Vermeil's style has truly stood the test of time. Whether it was coaching championship football and swimming teams as a high school coach in California, re-establishing UCLA as a national collegiate powerhouse, or reaching the highest echelon of the pro profession by coaching a club to a Super Bowl championship, there's been virtually no challenge Vermeil hasn't stepped up to during his illustrious career.
Legendary Coach Dick Vermeil is one of only four coaches in NFL history to guide two different teams to the Super Bowl. He has been named “Coach of the Year” on four levels: high school, junior college, NCAA Division I, and the NFL. Not to mention that he was the only coach to post victories in the Super Bowl and the Rose Bowl. Now he serves as the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he has put them back into contention for the NFL's ultimate prize after guiding Kansas City to a 13-3 record in 2003, marking the club's first postseason berth since '97.
