Peterson hired Vermeil to coach the Chiefs from 2001-05.
Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil is one of eight members of the 2022 class to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of fame later this summer.
On Wednesday, via the Hall’s Twitter account, Vermeil announced who would induct him at the ceremony — and it is a familiar name to Chiefs fans: Carl Peterson.
“Carl and I started all the way back in the early ‘70s at UCLA when he was an assistant coach there,” stared Vermeil.
