    In Vinces first season at the helm, he led the team to an 8-4 record while implementing the “Lombardi Sweep”, a play that coaches tried, but could never be stopped. While an 8-4 record is good, there needs to be more to become a dynasty and Vince got that in the draft from 1960-1964, where he was able to draft Hall of Famers Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, Ray Nitschke, Jerry Kramer, Forrest Gregg, and Bart Starr and with those as his building blocks, he was able to lead the packers to 5 consecutive championships from 65-69, including the first 2 inaugural super bowls. That five year run of success is what everyone knows Lombardi for as he lead a team from nothing to something in just under a decade and would catapult the packers to be the great team they once were and always have been since the 60s.
