The Official Web Site of Vince Lombardi

Lombardi was one of Fordham University's famous "Seven Blocks of Granite" in the mid-1930s.
He began his head coaching career at the age of 46 with the Green Bay Packers.
He turned the Packers around in just one year from a 1-10-1 record in 1958 to a 7-5 record in his first season in 1959.
Over the next eight years, his Packers dominated the league winning six divisional and five NFL championships, as well as Super Bowls I and II.
After his retirement from coaching in 1968, he stayed on as the general manager of the Packers. He soon became bored with the inactivity, and took a head coaching job in Washington. Vince led the Redskins to a 7-5-2 record in his first season as coach.
He was posthumously inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1971. Lombardi was noted as a taskmaster, and accomplished the feat of never having a losing season.
In 1971, "The Super Bowl Trophy" was renamed in Lombardi's honor, as the "Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy." Four years later, in 1975, Lombardi was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
Lombardi was inducted as a charter member of the Fordham University Hall of Fame in 1970.
The Rotary Club created the Rotary Lombardi Award for outstanding college offensive or defensive linemen in his honor.
Lombardi was the 1959 NFL Coach of the Year.
