Vincent Thomas ‘Vince’ Lombardi was an American football player and a famous coach. He wasn’t a head coach in the National Football League for a long time, but in his ten years as a head coach of Green bay Packers and Washington Redskins he set the standards for all other teams by building the Packers into an NFL dynasty. When he finally landed a job in NFL, it wasn’t as a head coach, but as an assistant coach to the New York Giants. During Lombardi’s reign in Green bay, he led the packers to six divisional titles, five national football league championships, and two super bowl wins. Lombardi’s regular-season winning percentage is remarkable which ranks up with the all-time great NFL coaching records. With his success, he became the National celebrity but it wasn’t just his ability as a coach that attracted people. It was his philosophy about football and life in general that struck a chord with American public. As the ultimate testament to his lasting influence on professional football, each year’s Super Bowl winners hold the trophy that bears his name. He was also inducted in to the pro football hall of fame in 1971.
