Dick Vermeil was emotional and popular wherever he went as head coach. In Kansas City, Vermeil spent five seasons, signing on Jan. 12, 2001, despite his retirement following a Super Bowl win with the St. Louis Rams. After a 6-10 first season, Vermeil improved to 8–8 in 2002. The Chiefs had the NFL’s best offense in 2002. In 2003, the Chiefs started 9–0 and finished with a 13–3 record, winning the AFC West. The Chiefs went 7–9 in 2004, though they had the NFL’s top-ranked offense for the third consecutive year. Vermeil returned for the 2005 season. On Dec. 31, Vermeil announced he would retire at the conclusion of the season.
