	Dick Vermeil: Leadership Through the Eyes of a Football Coach - Knowledge@Wharton
		Vermeil, who was guest lecturer at several sections of a Wharton MBA management class on Sept. 20, took two different teams to the Super Bowl two decades apart.
		Vermeil said that only nine of the players who were on the Rams when he got there were still on the 58-man roster three years later when the team won the Super Bowl.

		Whether Dick Vermeil took on that fiendish work ethic to emulate his father or to avoid having to be a mechanic is unclear even to Vermeil.
		What is clear is that the part of Dick Vermeil that can't praise people enough -- even, on occasion, those who don't deserve it -- is the opposite of his father.

		Dick Vermeil represents the church, as we have known it with one man in authority, running the show, and often burning out and disappearing into the secular world.

		Dick Vermeil had already retired prematurely from pro football for a second time following the 1999 season when he got a call one day from Pepper Rodgers, then working for Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
		Vermeil called longtime friend Carl Peterson, then and now the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, and told him that he had recommended Marty Schottenheimer for the Redskins' vacancy.
		Peterson had often called Vermeil after the coach left the Rams following their Super Bowl victory at the end of the '99 season, and the news that Vermeil had even considered talking to the Redskins about a possible return made him believe Vermeil was still thinking about coaching again himself.

		But within a matter of days last week, Dick Vermeil and Mike Ditka emerged from the cozy confines of the broadcast booth and were back in the coaching business.
		I only wish Vermeil and Ditka could have had the foresight to not put themselves in a similar position by returning to the NFL under eerily similar circumstances.
		So as Vermeil and Ditka bask in the glow of what they believe will be triumphant returns to the sideline, they should remember the cautionary words of Madden and Parcells when they become the latest examples of old coaches who couldn't live by three simple words Just say no.
