No, Bart Starr wasn’t a very good coach. He would readily admit that. He had only two winning records and one playoff appearance in nine seasons. The problem with Starr wasn’t so much him, though. In another stroke of genius by the Packers board of directors, they hired Starr to be their head coach at a time when he had only one season of coaching experience — as the team’s quarterbacks coach in 1972. The board was looking to bring back some of that Lombardi mystique and essentially begged Starr to take the job. Feeling indebted to the organization, he did. Starr basically had to learn on the job. Had he surrounded himself with a better defensive staff, he might have been alright. Starr’s teams showed flashes and that Lynn Dickey-led offense could put up tons of points, but the defense was always atrocious.
