Lombardi is a familiar name in the Northeast. Not only did the New England Patriots just win their sixth trophy named after legendary former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, they also once employed a man who shares the same last name: Mike Lombardi, a long-time acquaintance of head coach Bill Belichick, worked with the club as an assistant to the coaching staff during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Now, it looks as if Lombardi will make a return on the Patriots’ staff — in name, at least: according to ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots are expected to add his son Mick Lombardi to their coaching staff in some capacity.
