He would later become an assistant coach at Fordham University, the U.S. Military Academy, and the New York Giants before becoming a head coach for the Green Bay Packers from 1959–67 and the Washington Redskins in 1969.

10 Famous Quotes by the Great Vince Lombardi
- Coaches who can outline plays on a blackboard are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
- Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.
- If you aren't fired up with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
- Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
- Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
- Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious!
- Winners never quit and quitters never win.
- Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
- The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
