He was successful at every level of coaching in his career with a different approach to leadership then many of his counterparts. Coach won the Rose Bowl with UCLA, then took the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl (lost,) and then finally won it all with “The Greatest Show on Turf.”
He later finished his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In between stints in the NFL, Coach Vermeil spent almost 15 years in broadcasting.
