History[]

Humble Beginnings[]

The Packers were founded on August 11, 1919 when Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun called together a group of men that would become the first Green Bay Packer football team. They gained their name that first season as their uniforms were paid for by the Indian Packing Company. The company also provided a practice field.

That first season the Packers won ten and lost one while playing against opponents from Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. The games in those days were not played in an enclosed stadium with bright lights and restaurants. Rather, they were played in an open field and money was raised by having fans pass the hat.

The Green Bay Football Corporation[]

By 1921, the Packers team was so successful that Lambeau was able to get backing from some packing plant officials to obtain a franchise.

The dream became reality on August 27, 1921 as the Packers were welcomed into a fledgling national professional football league that had been formed in 1920. However, due to financial constraints, the team had to be forfeited at the end of the season.

This was only the first incident in a long series of troubles that the team from the NFL's smallest city had to overcome. The team wasn't done yet, but the road would be a long one.

In 1922, Curly Lambeau was able to get together $250 and buy the franchise back. The funding came from local people but included $50 of Lambeau's own money. That season saw further troubles as an insurance company refused to pay off it's debt for a rain-out because the rainfall was 0.01" under the required amount specified in the policy.

Late in the season, when the Packers were to play the Duluth Kelleys, another storm threatened Lambeau's financial security. However, A.B. Turnbull, Green Bay Press-Gazette general manager, advanced Lambeau the Duluth guarantee. Turnbull lobbied a group of town businessmen (to be called "The Hungry Five") to support the team and formed the Green Bay Football Corporation.

Ironman Football[]

The early days of the NFL were marked by men who played both offense and defense (Ironman Football). As protective gear was minimal at best, these men were also very tough.

The tradition of the NFL injury report came from this era as it was required to track the numerous injuries that occurred. It was often the quickest way for family and friends who lived out of state to get he news if a player was injured.

It was this era that spawned one of the most historic franchises in all of sports. The Green Bay Packers claimed many NFL titles during their first several decades of existence.

The Don Hutson Era[]

In 1935, a spindly wide receiver by the name of Don Hutson was drafted out of Alabama by the Packers. Hutson was not highly regarded by many NFL teams because they felt he lacked the size to compete in the rough and tumble game of the era. Lambeau felt otherwise and put Hutson to work in the passing game. Hutson has since been credited with the invention of pass patterns. He was easily the best receiver of his era and is considered by many to be the best of all time. Hutson not only retired with 18 NFL records to his name, he redefined the position.

Most of the records didn't fall until 30-40 years after Hutson played.

Stock Sale[]

After Lambeau departed the team in 1950, the Packers hired Gene Ronzani. The Packers were competitive under Ronzani, but his most significant contributions were more on the business side of the team. First, Ronzani sold stock in the Green Bay Packers corporation all over the state of Wisconsin. This raised nearly $125,000 and made the Packers the only publicly owned franchise in the NFL. Secondly, Ronzani hired Jack Vainisi as full-time talent scout. Vainisi discovered the six Packers Hall of Famers drafted from 1953-58: C Jim Ringo, T Forrest Gregg, QB Bart Starr, HB Paul Hornung, FB Jim Taylor and LB Ray Nitschke. These players would form the backbone of the Packer dynasty of the 1960's era.

God, Family and the Green Bay Packers[]

Even with all that talent, Green Bay was not competitive (1-10-1 in 1958) until they hired a little known energetic offensive assistant coach from the New York Giants in 1959.

Within hours after his arrival on Feb. 2, 1959, Vince Lombardi told the committee, "I want it understood that I am in complete command here."

And command he did. After his first couple of seasons getting the team focused, it was five NFL titles in seven years. 9-1 playoff record. Career record 98-30-4 (.758).

The Lombardi Packers are the standard of football excellence by which team are still measured. His teams finished no lower than second from 1960-67.

The end of the Lombardi era is marked by one of the most memorable games in the history of the NFL, The Ice Bowl. After the Ice Bowl, Lombardi's Packer's won their second Super Bowl and Lombardi retired.

Lombardi was not a brilliant strategist, but he was an excellent motivator who would settle for nothing but the best from his players.

The Dark Ages[]

1968-1970 Phil Bengtson 20-21-1
1971-1974 Dan Devine 25-27-4
1975-1983 Bart Starr 52-76-3
1984-1987 Forrest Gregg 25-37-1
1988-1991 Lindy Infante 24-40

Combined 146-201-9. It was a very dark time for a team and city that got accustomed to winning under Vince Lombardi.

Ron Wolf[]

After the Lombardi era and the 25 years of, well, embarrassing football, a dramatic change was needed. In 1991, they hired Ron Wolf to take over the franchise and lead them out of the darkness. Wolf's first acts were to fire head coach Lindy Infante and hire then San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Holmgren to replace him. Wolf traded the Packers 1992 first round draft pick to the Atlanta Falcons for a quarterback known more for being hung-over and missing team activities than throwing touchdowns. Wolf then signed the most sought after free agent available, Reggie White, bringing in a team leader and defensive superstar. This signing was crucial as White was able to help recruit defensive stars like Sean Jones and Santana Moss. These players, along with the aforementioned Brett Favre, formed the backbone of the playoff teams of the mid nineties that won a championship.

The team returned to greatness. Consistently making the playoffs and winning Super Bowl XXXI.

After losing SB XXXII, and losing during the playoffs the following season, Holmgren moves on to become GM/HC in Seattle.

Enter players coach Ray Rhodes. Exit Ray Rhodes after one 8-8 season.

Enter Mike Sherman.

The Modern Team[]

Ron Wolf handed the GM reins to Head Coach/GM Mike Sherman. Mike Sherman added to Wolf's players and built one of the best OLs in team history. Poor coaching means that the team never accomplished anything.

Some consider the 2003 Packers one of the best Packers teams of all time and Mike Sherman's inability to manage the game led to an early exit from the playoffs. Poor clock management and play selection led to one of the most infamous losses in Packer history (4th and 26)

After the 2004 season, the team hires new GM Ted Thompson. After a 4-12 season in 2005, Thompson fires Head Coach Mike Sherman and hires Pennsylvania native Mike McCarthy.

Hard nosed football returns and McCarthy gets control of the veteran gunslinger. They make a run in 2007 and lose the NFC title game to eventual SB champion Giants.

Brett Favre retires after the 2007 season. In an offseason "scandal", Favre comes out of retirement but Green Bay had already moved on. After much negotiation, Favre is traded to the New York Jets.

Green Bay completes a 6-10 season that many of the uninformed blame on the fact that Aaron Rodgers is starting instead of Brett Favre. In truth, the Packers were undone by a weak special teams unit and numerous defensive breakdowns. They lost five games by 3 points or less in 2008.
