Bob Schnelker: Lynn Dickey, James Lofton best I ever coached

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 10 years as an assistant coach with the Packers under five different head coaches: Vince Lombardi, Phil Bengtson, Dan Devine, Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg. When Starr hired Schnelker to be his offensive coordinator, the Packers’ offense had been in shambles for more than a decade. Ten times in 12 years it had finished in the bottom six in the NFL in total yards.
