In Memory of the GREATEST coach to ever step foot onto the grid iron...

[Truthorfable]

I read recently that if it wasnt for Lombardi taking over the hapeless Packers in there losing ways and turning them into winners with the same group of players. and Pete Rozelle TV revenue sharing plan the small town market Green Bay Packers came close to folding..

A great coach yes and great discpliner yes.. He can turn anyone into a winner after taking over for a losing coach.

the question should be would Lombardi but up with all the money grubbing players today?

vince lombari, should not have left. Best football coach in history.

Yeah, there was a huge gap after the pack won the 2nd Superbowl but the thing is they have Superbowl trophies and that's all that matters. Previous years during the curly lambeau era they won the NFL Championships (before it was called the Superbowl) They did pretty good considering they played/represented for a small city that didn't have the billions of dollars to get these superstar players. They actually had players with heart, alot of people don't know that the packers are owned by the city

@dcbandnerd Damn, just found out that was his last stop as a coach. Started a renaissance of sorts there. The 'Skins could have won at least two Super Bowls if not for colorectal cancer or his refusal for early treatment. Hopefully everyone realizes that NOTHING is more important than your health, even your livelihood.

He was sick for a while I think...

[toolkien]

and so began the Dark Years for Green Bay........

[dcbandnerd]

The Redskins were so lucky to have him, even only for a year.

What most people don't realize is that Lombardi ran the entire Packer organization, even the business operations while he was in Green Bay. That was a condition of his leaving his job as OC for the Giants. Had he stayed, he probably would have been head coach in a few years. He left the Giants because the Packers were willing to give him absolute control of the entire franchise.

@fancynancyINC The Packers didn't have a GM at that time so the person who fired him was the Packers' President who was Judge Robert Parins. But actually Parins was most of Packers' problems during those years as he refused to hire and give COMPLETE football control to a General Manager. Finally Bob Harlan became Packer President and hired Ron Wolf as GM. The rest is history. Actually it was Dick Corrick the head Packer scout who wanted to draft Ronnie Lot but Starr wanted Rich Campbell instead.

CLASS. Now the NFL has clowns like Rex Ryan to represent it. How low we've sunk.
