Former NFL head coach Lindy Infante passes away at 75

Former NFL head coach Lindy Infante passed away at the age of 75 on Wednesday after what his wife described as a lengthy illness.

Infante, best known for his four-year stint as the Green Bay Packers head coach before Mike Holmgren took over in 1992, also coached the Indianapolis Colts in 1996 and 1997. In his six years as a NFL head coach, Infante led his teams to a winning record twice with one playoff appearance. He was the Colts head coach in the two years leading up to the Peyton Manning era.

A running back under the legendary Ray Graves at Florida from 1960-1962, Infante earned an All-SEC selection in his final season with the Gators and was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988.
