About Vince Lombardi
Vince Lombardi (1913–1970) coached the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships in seven seasons, including victories in the first two Super Bowls (1967, 1968). He never had a losing season as an NFL head coach.
After his death in 1970, the Super Bowl trophy was renamed in his honor — making his name the answer to the championship's most reliable trivia question.
