Lombardi was as outstanding a student as he was an athlete while attending Fordham University. On the football field he was one of a group of linemen referred to as the “Seven Blocks of Granite”. He studied law at Fordham, received his undergraduate degree in Business, briefly played semi-professional football, and shortly thereafter began coaching high school football. Previous to his hiring as Head Coach and General Manager for the Green Bay Packers, he coached at Fordham, the US Military Academy at West Point and the New York Giants. In his second year, Green Bay led the NFL’s Western Conference, followed by two league championships and two Super Bowl wins.
