Vince Lombardi was an American football coach. He was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s. In his coaching, the Packers won three straight and five total NFL Championships in seven years, in addition to winning the first two Super Bowls at the conclusion of the 1966 and 1967 NFL seasons.
Lombardi started his coaching career as an assistant and later as a head coach at St. Cecilia High School in Englewood, New Jersey. He also served as an assistant coach at Fordham, at the United States Military Academy, and with the New York Giants before becoming a head coach for the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967 and the Washington Redskins in 1969.
Lombardi never had a losing season as a head coach in the NFL, compiling a regular-season winning percentage of 72.8% (96–34–6), and 90% (9–1) in the postseason for an overall record of 105 wins with 35 losses and 6 ties in the NFL.
In 1970, he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The same year, NFL Super Bowl trophy was named in his honour.
