He was determined to succeed the only way he knew how: by working longer and harder than any of his competitors.

In Vermeil's fifth season, the Eagles reached the Super Bowl. Two years later he was out of football, overcome by a grueling, self-imposed work schedule that wreaked havoc on his emotions.
