There have been 15 head coaches for the Green Bay Packers, a professional American football team of the National Football League (NFL). The franchise was founded in 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun and competed for two years against teams around Wisconsin and Michigan before entering into the American Professional Football Association, which is now known as the NFL. During this time, Lambeau served as team captain, a position that more closely matched the modern head coach position. Willard Ryan and Joseph Merrill Hoeffel both served as the official head coach in the early 1920s, however based on the roles of head coach and team captain, the Packers recognize Lambeau as the first coach.
Four coaches have won NFL championships with the Packers: Earl Louis “Curly” Lambeau in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, and 1944; Vince Lombardi in 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, and 1967; Mike Holmgren in 1996; and Mike McCarthy in 2010. Lambeau is the franchise leader in career games (334) and career wins (209), while Lombardi has the best winning percentage (.754). Ray (Scooter) McLean has the worst winning percentage (.077). Four Packers coaches—Lambeau, Lombardi, Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg—have been elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, although Starr and Gregg are recognized as players. Lombardi and Lindy Infante have both been named the league’s coach of the year by major news organizations.
The current head coach is Matt LaFleur, who was named to that position in January 2019 after Mike McCarthy was fired.
