His likeness can be seen in a 14 foot statue at Lambeau Field. A flamboyant figure, his name remains attached to some of the most famous quotes in American sports history.In his career as head coach in Green Bay, Lombardi steered the Packers to five NFL Championships and victories in Super Bowls I and II. He tallied a career record of 105 35 6 (regular and postseason combined), 98 30 4 in Green Bay.And yet, Lombardi's name wasn't always so recognizable.In early 1959, Green Bay was coming off a 1 10 1 season the worst in team history. Winners of six NFL titles under Curly Lambeau, the team hadn't had a winning season since 1947.Ray "Scooter" McLean, head coach in 1958, resigned after one season. Searching for McLean's replacement, Dominic Olejniczak then the president of the organization became interested in a Giants assistant coach.To that point, Lombardi had never held a head coaching position, so when Olejniczak recommended him to the Packers' executive committee, committee member John Torinus replied, "Who the hell is Vince Lombardi?" It didn't take long to find out.On Feb. 2, 1959, Lombardi arrived and told the committee, "I want it understood that I am in complete command here." Technically he wasn't, A.J. Hawk Womens Jersey not yet, but within two days of his arrival Olejniczak gave Lombardi not only the head coaching job, but the vacant general manager position as well.Lombardi immediately changed the way the team looked, the way it played and especially how it thought. In 1959, he ordered that the Packers' uniforms be revamped. The resulting design was almost identical to the uniforms the team continues to wear today. In fact, the only major modification since was the addition of the 'G' helmet logo, which was added in 1961 and has never left. The logo was designed by then equipment manager Dad Braisher, at Lombardi's request.Lombardi's offense was basic and methodical. Its most famous play, now often referred to as the "Lombardi sweep" or the "Packers sweep," consisted of Paul Hornung or Jim Taylor following pulling guards Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston. Lombardi was famous for his pursuit of perfection, often dedicating long hours of film study or practice to just one element of one play.In his first team meeting after being named head coach and general manager, Lombardi made it clear just how determined he was to win. Looking into the eyes of players who just a season before had gone 1 10 1, Lombardi said, "I have never been on a losing team, gentlemen, and I do not intend to start now." True to his word, Lombardi never knew a losing season as a head coach.His first season was a stunning success. He used many of the same players from that 1 10 1 team of 1958 and finished 7 5 in 1959, winning unanimous Coach of the Year honors. His first game was a 9 6 victory over the Chicago Bears in new City Stadium later renamed Lambeau Field and when it was over, the players carried their coach off the field in triumph.In 1960, the Packers won the Western Conference title, going 8 4. That brought Lombardi to his first NFL Championship Game, which the Packers lost 17 13 to the Eagles at Franklin Field.It didn't take long for Lombardi to earn redemption, however. In 1961, after an 11 3 season, the Packers demolished his former team, the Giants, 37 0, winning the team's first title since 1944.His teams went on to www.packersnflofficial.com/Nike-Clay-Matthews-Jersey.html capture four more NFL crowns: 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967. Green Bay also won the first two Super Bowls after the 1966 and 1967 titles, respectively. In Lombardi's final game as Green Bay head coach, the Packers defeated Oakland 33 14 in Super Bowl II at the Orange Bowl in Miami.But the Packers' 1967 season isn't remembered for that Super Bowl. Instead, the '67 campaign is remembered for the NFL Championship against Dallas, perhaps the most famous game in football history. Now commonly referred to as the 'Ice Bowl,' the Lambeau Field temperature at kickoff that day (Dec. 31, 1967) was minus 13, with the wind chill dipping to 46 below.
