One of the most distinguished coaching careers in
National Football League history officially concluded
when Dick Vermeil announced his retirement from
professional football in January 2006. Vermeil spent
15 seasons as an NFL head coach and was a member
of the league’s coaching fraternity for 19 seasons. In
addition, Vermeil has had a prestigious career as a
football broadcaster, analyzing both NFL and college
games. In January, 2006, he was portrayed on the big
screen by Greg Kinnear in the film Invincible.
In 2008, Vermeil and friends turned his hobby of
making Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet into a fullfledged
business, which now annually produces 5,000
cases of quality Calistoga Napa Valley wines, in
conjunction with OnThEdge Winery and the Frediani
vineyard, both lifelong friends.
