This week in Wisconsin history, the founder, player, coach, and vice president of the Green Bay Packers, Earl “Curly” Lambeau, was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 9, 1898. Lambeau founded the Packers in 1919 and served as the team’s only coach until 1949. Through that time, he led the Packers to six world championships and recorded over 200 NFL coaching wins; these accolades would be enough for a place in the NFL Hall of Fame.
