The Hall of Fame head coach, who coached both teams during his 15-year career, guided the Eagles to an NFC Championship in 1980. The Eagles lost to the Raiders in Super Bowl XV. He led the Rams, then in St. Louis, to victory over Tennessee in Super Bowl XXXIV after the 1999 season. He also led the Rams to an NFC title in 2001 before losing to New England in Super Bowl XXXVI.
Vermell was 120-109 as a head coach. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
