To the "newbie" doubter .... Read on kiddo!
When Lombardi took over as head coach in 1959. The Packers hadn't won a title since 1944; but under Lombardi the team won NFL championships in 1961, '62, '65, '66 and '67, the last two years being Super Bowls I and II. They are the only team to win three championships in a row; in fact, thanks to those years the Packers today hold more NFL titles than any other team!!!
Attitude! Its everything!
Some Lombardi quotes:
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.
Vince Lombardi
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
Vince Lombardi
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
Vince Lombardi
Lombardi gave some great quotes when I was a kid in the sixties while he coached the Packers, just wish my recollection of them were better.
GO PACKERS!!!!
