Earl "Curly" Lambeau founded the Green Bay Packers in 1919 and became the team’s first playing star and coach for 31 years. The first pass-minded coach in the NFL, he built teams that were impatient and explosive and made the pass their main offensive weapon, defying common practice. An excellent passer himself, Lambeau led the Packers to championships in 1929, 1930, and 1931, and after signing future Hall of Fame receiver Don Hutson in 1935, the team won three more titles. During 33 years as an NFL coach, he compiled a 229-134-22 record, including six NFL championships with Green Bay.
