VINCE LOMBARDI'S BIO
Lombardi was head coach of the Green Bay Packers and the Washington Redskins after spending the 1954-58 seasons as an assistant with the Giants.

Behind Lombardi’s leadership running the offense, the Giants captured the League Championship in 1956. In 10 years as head coach, Lombardi had a 105-36-6 record, including five NFL titles and victories in Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II.

He directed the Packers to five NFL championships in seven years (1961-62 and 65-66-67), a feat without precedent or parallel in pro football history. A guard, Lombardi played his collegiate football at Fordham, where he was one of the legendary “Seven Blocks of Granite.”
