Vermeil
retires
Rams head coach Dick
Vermeil with new coach Mike Martz, center, and
Vermeil's wife, Carol.
(Karen
Elshout/P-D) | It's official: Dick Vermeil
ended two weeks of speculation and announced he's
retiring as head coach of the Rams.
"I don't want to be the head coach in the next
season and say I should have retired when I was on
top," Vermeil said at a 5 p.m. news conference at
Rams Park. "The time is right. Very few in this
profession get this opportunity."
Just 48 hours earlier, Vermeil, 63, led his
team into its first Super Bowl and brought it out
a winner. It was the second time in 19 years that
he'd coached a Super Bowl contender. He led the
Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl in 1981, and
that 27-10 loss fueled his return to the
profession in 1997.   >>

 We're giving away Web
sites, and we'd like you to have one. The aim of our
Community Web Sites program is to make it as easy as
possible for metro St. Louis community groups to do the
time-consuming, annoying aspects of their work --
scheduling, publicity, working out collaborations with
others -- so that they can concentrate on the dialogue,
enthusiasms and common work that brought them together
in the first place. It's open to any non-profit group in
the metropolitan area, and it's entirely free of charge.
