Today we look at the 1962 Green Bay Packers assistant coaching staff. The first page of the feature has a nice group photo and also short descriptions of the responsibilities of each coach. Then each man was featured in a nice full-page photo suitable for hanging on your wall, which would look even better if you had each of them sign their photo during your visit to 1962 Training Camp. Take notice below how many of Lombardi’s assistants became N.F.L. head coaches.
