 Vince Lombardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lombardi's unrelenting coaching philosophy paid off with a remarkable 105-35-6 record as a head coach, never suffering a losing season, (his 1959 team was 7-5, after taking over a 1-10-1 team from 1958, and his 1969 Redskin team was 7-5-2, coming off of a 5-9 season in 1968.
The Packers were dismal, having won only a single game (with one tie) in the 1958 season, but Lombardi felt that his coaching skills were up to the challenge.
Lombardi was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, and a week after his death, the NFL's Super Bowl trophy was renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his honor.
