The 1958 Green Bay Packers season was their 38th season in the National Football League. The club posted a 1-10-1 record under coach Ray McLean, earning them a last-place finish in the Western Conference and the worst record ever posted by a Packers team. In the immortal words of New York sportswriter and Green Bay native Red Smith: “they overwhelmed one opponent, under whelmed ten, and whelmed one." McLean would not return to Green Bay in 1959, and his dismissal paved the way for the historic hiring of Vince Lombardi.
