The Kansas City Chiefs added a legendary coach to their Pro Football Hall of Fame roster when Dick Vermeil was elected to the hall on Thursday.
Though the only Super Bowl win of his career came across the state in St. Louis as a member of the Rams, Chiefs fans will always remember Vermeil fondly as a fixture of their mid-2000s squads that featured Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzales, and Trent Green.
Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt remarked on Vermeil’s election to the Hall on Thursday, noting how proud he is that the coach exemplifies the Chiefs’ core values even in retirement. Though Kansas City was just a stop on the road for the long-time skipper, Hunt made it clear that he left a lasting impression on his franchise in the time he spent in the Paris of the Plains.
