Dick Vermeil, who coached Eagles and Chiefs, says Super Bowl LIX will be one for ages
LA TimesDick Vermeil as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1981, left, and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2005. He’s got good friends with the Philadelphia Eagles and good friends with the Kansas City Chiefs — he represented both franchises — but the Hall of Fame coach now revels that now he can “embrace neutrality.” The Chiefs and Eagles are headed to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, and, as was the case when the teams squared off on the NFL’s biggest stage two years ago, he can be the innocent bystander. “I have compassion for both teams because I know people in both organizations,” said Vermeil, 88, who coached the Eagles from 1976 though ’82, and the Chiefs from 2001 through ’05. I had four grandkids down there.” Sports Saquon Barkley and Eagles dominate Commanders to advance to Super Bowl LIX Saquon Barkley rushes for 118 yards and three touchdowns as the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders and will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
