Former NFL Coach Lindy Infante Dies at 75

MIAMI — Lindy Infante, the hard-luck former coach of the Green Bay Packers and the Indianapolis Colts, died Thursday. He was 75.

Infante's wife, Stephanie, told The Associated Press that he died in St. Augustine after a lengthy illness.

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

In 1997, the Colts finished 3-13 and Infante was out of a job after two seasons with a 12-20 record.
