A dedicated and inspirational coach who was assistant to Tommy Prothro in 1970 before returning to UCLA in 1974 as head football coach for two years.  He set a positive tone and standard for the future by winning the 1975 Pac-10 championship and following up with a great 23-10 upset victory over No. 1 ranked Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.  However, after a two-year record of 15-5-3, he departed for the Philadelphia Eagles to revitalize the NFL team.  He guided the Eagles to 57 wins and an appearance in Super Bowl XV during his tenure.  He resigned as head coach of Philadelphia in 1982 and went into broadcasting but after 15 years away from the sidelines, he was hired as the head coach of the St. Louis Rams in 1997. Within three years, Vermeil turned the Rams around and led them to the 1999 division crown and to their first-ever Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.
