Former Packers head coach, Lindy Infante dies

October 8, 2015 By Bill Scott

Packers logoFormer Green Bay Packers head coach Lindy Infante passed away on Thursday, at the age of 75.

Infante was a head coach in the NFL for six years, compiling a 36-60 record.  He was the NFL Coach of the Year in 1989 with the Packers, but his only postseason appearance came in 1996 with the Indianapolis Colts in a wild card game loss to Pittsburgh (42-14).

The Packers hired Infante in February 1988, about a week after George Perles, the coach at Michigan State, backed out of the job 24 hours after accepting it.

Infante was the 10th coach in Packers franchise history, compiling a 24-40 record in four seasons before being fired by new general manager Ron Wolf not long after the final game in 1991.

Infante died of pneumonia.
