He is in the Sid Gillman coaching tree and has coached at every level; Vermeil owns the distinction of being named “Coach of the Year” on four levels: High School, Junior College, NCAA Division I and Professional Football. In all three of his stops as an NFL head coach, Vermeil has taken every team—Philadelphia, St. Louis and Kansas City, each of which had a losing record before he arrived—and brought them to the playoffs by his third season at the helm. ==Early coaching years== Vermeil graduated in 1959 with an M.A. from San Jose State University, where he was the backup quarterback. After serving as assistant coach for San Jose’s Del Mar High School football team for one season, he became the head coach at Hillsdale High School in Calif. for three seasons, he then went to as an assistant coach Sam Mateo College with coach Cliff Griffon. The following year he was at Napa Junior College as the head football coach, leading the Chief to a 7-2 record best in the school history. While at Napa JC his younger brother Al played for him and, in the 1965–66 season, he coached Stanford University's freshman football team. Vermeil shares the distinction of being hired as one of the NFL's first Special Teams coaches with NFL Hall of Fame Coach Marv Levy. Vermeil was hired by George Allen's Los Angeles Rams in 1969 the same year Levy was hired by Jerry Williams, then Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagels.
