Fordham and West Point I think.

JeeberD · 02-06-2003, 03:24 PM

Actually, according to www.vincelombardi.com he was only an assistant coach at both places....

"Vince left St. Cecilia in 1947 to coach at his Alma Mater, Fordham. He spent one year coaching Fordham's freshman football team and the next as an assistant coach for the varsity team.

Earl "Colonel Red" Blaik, football coach for the United States Military Academy at West Point (and considered the best coach in the country at the time), hired Vince to manage their varsity defensive line in 1949. Vince regularly worked 17-hour days with Blaik, whose expertise helped refine Vince's leadership skills. Blaik taught Vince to stick with clear-cut plays (simple blocking and tackling), strive for perfect execution and conduct himself respectively on the field.

Vince left West Point in 1954 for an assistant coaching position with the New York Giants"

Bee · 02-06-2003, 03:26 PM

Yep, I think you are right. I didn't catch the "head" coach in college. I'm pretty sure his first "head" coaching job was Green Bay.

"decent press the past couple of years"??? Some of us are almost old enough to have remembered the actual event.
