Packers Extend Lombardi Through 1974 ??

Nov. 4, 1965 – The Packers announce they have extended the contract of Vince Lombardi to Jan. 31, 1974. The extension comes amid rumors that Green Bay’s head coach and general manager might head to Atlanta to coach the Falcons during their inaugural season in 1966. “I’m very happy to stay in Green Bay,” Lombardi said. “This is our home. This is where our friends are and this is where my job is.”
