1974 Green Bay Packers season
The 1974 Green Bay Packers season was their 56th season overall and their 54th season in the National Football League. The team finished with a 6–8 record under fourth-year head coach Dan Devine, a consecutive third-place finish in the NFC Central division. The Packers lost their last three games, all to non-playoff teams. After Week 6, the 3–3 Packers traded five future draft picks to the Los Angeles Rams for veteran quarterback John Hadl, who had recently been benched in favor of James Harris. The trade occurred the day after the Packers' offense (under quarterback Jerry Tagge) managed only three field goals in a 10–9 road loss to rival Chicago on Monday night. The Packers had defeated the Rams 17–6 in Milwaukee the week prior, intercepting four passes. With a year remaining on his five-year contract, Devine resigned a day after the last game of the regular season and returned to college football at Notre Dame, following the sudden retirement of Ara Parseghian. Devine was succeeded as head coach at Green Bay by Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr, hired on Christmas Eve.
