Lombardi was hired as an offensive assistant for the Saints in 2007 and was promoted to Quarterbacks Coach in 2009, a position he held until 2013.

Lombardi left to be the Offensive Coordinator in Detroit from 2014-15, before returning to the SAints in 2016 to resume his role as Quarterbacks Coach.

Lombardi is the grandson of Hall of Fame NFL football coach, Vince Lombardi.
