Dick Vermeil
He owns the rare distinction of winning a championship on four different levels of football (High School, Junior College, College, and NFL)
Vermeil's tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, which began in 1976, was a turning point for the franchise. The Eagles had not seen postseason success in over a decade, but under Vermeil's guidance, they reached the playoffs by 1978 and made their first Super Bowl appearance in 1980. His ability to rebuild the team from the ground up earned him widespread recognition. After retiring in 1982, Vermeil took a 15-year hiatus from the NFL, but his passion for the game eventually brought him back to the sidelines.
In 1997, Vermeil returned to the NFL as the head coach of the St. Louis Rams, a team that had not experienced a winning season in years. By 1999, Vermeil had led the Rams to their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history, winning Super Bowl XXXIV. This achievement marked a significant milestone for both Vermeil and the Rams, as it was their first championship since 1951. Vermeil retired once again after the Super Bowl win, but his legacy as a championship-winning coach was firmly established.
Vermeil's final coaching stint came with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he took over in 2001. In 2003, he led the Chiefs to their first division title and playoff appearance in six years, further solidifying his reputation as a coach who could turn around struggling teams. Although he did not win a playoff game with the Chiefs, Vermeil's impact on the franchise was undeniable. His career achievements were recognized with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022, a fitting tribute to one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history.
