Of all the great National Football League coaches, none have earned the
level of respect and reputation that Vince Lombardi merited during his
tenure as head coach of the Green Bay Packers. Both feared and beloved
by players and peers, Lombardi coached the Packers to five NFL
championships and victories in the first two Super Bowls ever played.
Over ten seasons, his Green Bay teams compiled a remarkable 98-30-4
record, although it was Lombardi's relentless, uncompromising tactics
and values that defined him and his career more than the victories could
by themselves. Among the many memorable events and circumstances
included in I Remember Vince Lombardi are his days as an assistant
coach with the New York Giants and colleague Tom Landry, his
relationships with players and assistants, the unforgettable "Ice Bowl"
NFL title game of 1966, his two Super Bowl victories, his sudden
departure from the Packers, and his short-lived position as coach of the
Washington Redskins. Many aspects of Lombardi's personal and
professional life are covered in this book, offering a new and
refreshing look at one of football's greatest icons.
