Vince Lombardi – Green Bay Packers

Unfortunately for Vince Lombardi, only three of his ten seasons fell into the Super Bowl era. Otherwise, he would receive way more praise. Either way, he helped launch said era with his Green Bay Packers. They beat two storied franchises in the Raiders and Cowboys.

Due to a tragic diagnosis of late-stage colon cancer, Lombardi wasn’t able to continue his run. We guess that was the door opening for other teams to have a chance at winning.
