Bob Schnelker: Lombardi had no peers as a motivator

Cliff Christl started gathering oral histories with former Packers and others associated with the team in 2000 and will continue to gather them as Packers historian. Excerpts from those interviews will be periodically posted at www.packers.com

Bob Schnelker served two stints as an assistant coach with the Packers: The first from 1966-71 and the other from 1982-85. Hired by Vince Lombardi, Schnelker was the Packers’ receivers coach when they won Super Bowls I and II. In all, Schnelker spent 27 years as an NFL assistant after playing offensive end for nine pro seasons, five of them with the New York Giants when Lombardi was an offensive assistant there.
