Things did not start out well for Mike Holmgren in Green Bay. Hired as the new Head Coach by General Manager Ron Wolf on January 11, 1992, Holmgren brought to Green Bay a resume that was as impressive as there was in the NFL at the time. A former QB coach and offensive coordinator with the…

If you were a Packer fan in the 1970’s, success was often difficult to find. Following the dynasty of the Lombardi teams of the 1960s, the Packers of the 1970’s were often the complete reverse of that. More familiar with losing than winning for most of the first half (save for one playoff season in 1972) the…

It is almost difficult to remember just how bad the Packers used to be. From the time Vince Lombardi turned the reigns over to Phil Bengston, up until the early ’90s, to say success was limited would be the understatement of understatements.

The draft is traditionally the way…

Things used to be simpler for Packers fans. By 1996,  the Packers were a team on the rise. The assembly of talent put together by General Manager Ron Wolf and coached by Mike Holmgren was something not seen in upper Wisconsin in some time. Brett Favre was the best player in the NFL, en route to his second…
