An American who is regarded as one of the most successful coaches in American football history, known as a great leader who inspired and motivated his players, was born on June 11, 1913, in New York, United States. He went to Catholic schools, starring as a fullback on his high school football team. Lombardi attended Fordham University and played guard on the school's football team, part of a line known as the Seven Blocks of Granite. After graduating in 1937 he worked in business for several years while attending law school at night and playing semi-professional football on weekends. Two years later he became a coach and teacher at St. Cecilia's Academy in Englewood, New Jersey. Lombardi coached football, basketball, and baseball at the school during his eight years there, and his football teams won numerous state titles. Lombardi then set his sights on the college ranks, returning to Fordham as an assistant football coach for two years (1947-1948). He then served as an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point from 1949 to 1953. He was heavily influenced by West Point head coach Colonel Earl “Red” Blaik. Lombardi jumped to the pro ranks in 1954 when he was hired by the New York Giants to serve as an assistant coach in charge of offense. In 1959 he left New York to become head coach and general manager of the Packers. When Lombardi arrived, Green Bay had not had a winning season in more than a decade. The team had finished last in its conference the previous two years, winning just 3 of 12 games in 1957 and 1 game in 1958. Demanding excellence, Lombardi brought a winning attitude that had an immediate effect, as the Packers won 7 games in his first year as coach. The following year he led Green Bay to the 1960 NFL championship game, where the team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. In 1961 the Packers captured their first NFL title under Lombardi, trouncing the Giants 37-0 in the championship game. Green Bay repeated as champions in 1962 and also won the title in 1965, 1966, and 1967. After leading the team to easy victories over the American Football League (AFL) champions in the first two Super Bowls (1967 and 1968), Lombardi retired from coaching.
He died on September 3, 1970, Washington, D.C., United States.
