Nobody could replicate Lambeau or Lombardi’s success, or even come close, until Mike Holmgren in the ‘90s. In the post-Lombardi era, the Packers experimented with a handful of coaches, including Bart Starr, who quarterbacked Green Bay to all of those championships under Lombardi. Heading into the ‘60s, Vince Lombardi, after whom the Super Bowl trophy is named, took over and won five more titles for Green Bay, two of which were the league’s first Super Bowls. Curly Lambeau, for whom the Packers’ field is named after, coached the team for nearly three decades and captured six NFL championships. Green Bay’s history dates all the way back to 1921. The Packers have sat firmly near the top of the football mountain for the last several decades, making them an intriguing bet each year and each week.
