Dick Vermeil

Right post. Wrong thread?

Both you guys are right, I missed the DV! I had just finished watching the PC thing on ESPN.....brain fart, getting old I guess.

On to Dick I hadn't heard his name come up in a long while. Last thing I heard about him he was happy doin the wine thing in CA....?

I hope we aren't going back to the dinosaur age, if I had to guess hes well done. No more tears.

I've got to echo the sentiments felt here. DV simply won't want to come back.

I still want to stay in house, but the Danny appears to want to go outside. I wonder what his relationship with GW is like.

Also, I kind of think that maybe GW wants to stay at D-coordinator.

To be honest... I could see something like (let's say Joe Bugel leaves too... I mean come on, He is pretty old) Russ Grimm coming in and having the general oversight of the team, but concentrate his actual coaching on the offensive line.

I mean what kind of perks does HC really have? Why would GW want to change his situation. It's not like he's underpaid right now. It just seems like it would make a lot of sense to me.

Yeah I alluded to the "What does Williams have to gain" mentality in another thread.

That said though, I think it's more likely that he does want it and more likely that he gets it. Unless it's already established contractually beforehand that an assistant will ascend to the HC role within the same organization, the rules state that you have to interview (and don't forget the Rooney Rule).

It can be a charade of interviews while you know all along who your choice is, but it's better for the team to say "We haven't begun the process" than "We know we plan on selecting Williams but we'll just bs with some other candidates for a couple of weeks so no one thinks we didn't at least look."

Make Ray Brown offensive line coach!

I think the world of Vermeil, but I doubt it could be so. If it is not GW, he would be my next choice. The man always reminded me of Gibbs, anyway. As a kid I remember thinking they looked and sounded alike. They also seemed to coach in similar manors.

Better Dick Vermeil than Brian Billick.

Seriously though, think of all the juvenile thread titles we could have!

Really seriously though, fine coach but not the direction we want to go in I don't think.

Isn't Vermeil 4.6 billion years old? Is this yet another joke?

Make Ray Brown offensive line coach!

I said that in another thread! I wouldn't mind having RB back......

What do you guys think of Vermeil being our head coach for a couple of years. Vermeil and Gibbs are very good friends and he knows Saunders very well. Dick Vermeil is a proven coach although he is older than Gibbs. If he wants to be a coach again I believe we could look at him for a couple of years.Interesting, have'nt heard his name brought up though.

People complained that Joe Gibbs was too old to coach. What about Dick Vermeil? He's older than Joe Gibbs! I like Dick Vermeil. He cares about his players, and he's obviously a very emotional guy. However, I don't see him ever coming back to coaching again. Although, he does have the Al Saunders connection, so who knows? It would probably work, but we would be looking for another coach in a matter of a couple years.

All these new coach threads are getting painful.
