1billsfan Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 He's talking with Mike and the Mad Dog in New York and said he'd entertain coaching offers but doesn't expect any. I'd welcome him as the Bills head honcho, I might even cry too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeally Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Why in the world would Vermeil leave KC for Buffalo?? That's a much better situation than the Bills are right now. Going from St L to KC is NOT like going from KC to Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 If this is true, Vermeil flip flops more than ICE ever did... http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/KC/9134145 Vermeil retires, says he's done with football KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Jan. 1, 2006) -- With trademark tears in his eyes, Dick Vermeil said this is really it -- a third retirement means he's out of football. Honest. Unlike his other two retirements, there'll be no returning to the profession he loves so dearly, Vermeil tearfully told a news conference Jan. 1 after his Kansas City Chiefs beat Cincinnati 37-3.

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I can't handle Vermeil. he comes off as so fake to me. He announces his retirement from the Rams, then comes back to the Chiefs. Announces his retirement from the Chiefs to get his team up for a big game, then is quoted less than a week later saying he'd listen to ffers? C'mon man emotion is good but it's gotta be real and I don't beleive you anymore, either you're fake or you have a personality disorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with the Chiefs. I can sort of understand him not wanting his team and organization constantly having to deal with, "is your coach going to quit?" questions.

He was even asked if leaving was his choice, and he said most certainly "yes, it is time. This team needs to start looking 5 years down the road, not taking it year to year, with an old coach..." If this guy is serious about "listening to offers" he really has the Larry Brown- "I need to be flattered" syndrome.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parcells does the same thing. Doesn't want to put on the resume' that he got fired. It's as simple as that. He is a fake. Always has been. Is he a good coach? To be honest I don't know what a good coach is anymore. So many getting fired just for the sake of getting fired. I mean look at Edwards with the Jets. This guy does nothing but sprout religion and other teams want him to coach thier teams- when he hasn't done that good a job with the Jets. Look at Tony Dungy bombs out in Tampa Bay but is considered a god with the Colts and he really hasn't done that much with them. No more then with the Buccs. I say Hire Bobby April as the next HC of the Bills. Might as well try some one new and give them a chance. After Williams and Malarky what have we got to loose?

In space no one can hear Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 no way.........the guy is way too emotional lol and its not the good kind with the bunch of losers we got 550958[/snapback] I certainly respect Vermeil alot and would not be upset if we hired him. Though, I have to say most of our players need to be taken back to the shed for a good old fashioned a** whipping not a teary eyed hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Vermiel ended his career as a dick. The B'gals laid down after the 1st quarter. Last Sunday, they played the entire active roster, but DV (or VD) kept his horses in with a fat, unsurmountable lead, and so left bad blood between the franchises. Classless.

After Williams and Malarky what have we got to loose? 550930[/snapback] Dungy "bombed" with the Bucs? I guess having a 54-42 record and practically building that Super Bowl team doesnt count. I guess not having a single losing season with the Colts means he is doing something wrong. Dungy has had 1 losing season since 1996. One. And that was in his first year.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 well i got the feeling this whole season that dick vermeil was being forced into retirement.i'd take him in a heartbeat.maybe he can bring william roaf with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Dennis Miller was correct when he said, "This guy tears up quicker than Sylvia Plath being pepper-sprayed." 550836[/snapback] This would be great from a marketing angle. Just think: DV tears up after each first down, sobs lightly after each TD and weeps openly after each victory. The Bills new motto-Home of the group Hug. We can fly in DR Phil as MC for the home opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Classless. 551031[/snapback] I have always, for reasons unknown, hated the Philadelphia Eagles....back when Vermiel was coaching there, his nickname became "Dick Fer-meal"... I guess I am classless too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
