Current record is 200.0 sacks by Bruce Smith, Buffalo, 1985-1999; Washington, 2000-03 David ``Deacon`` Jones has the unofficial record, he kept all of his sacks written down in a book he kept and had a total of I think 226.5 sacks

The record for the most home runs in baseball history is held by Barry Bonds, who hit a total of 762 home runs throughout his career.

Kobe Bryant recently passed Jerry West's record and is now the highest scoring leader in Los Angeles history. The played the Memphis Grizzlies in that game.
2,970 wins, 1,841 losses are the total Laker's franchise record.

Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills was the first (and only) player to officall record 200 sacks.It should be noted that the Sack, as a stat, was only officially recognized and tracked since 1982. So there are a lot of players, such as Reggie White (officially he has 198 total sacks), who may have had more than 200 sacks in their careers.
Kevin Green currently holds the number three spot on most sacks in Packers History. He has 160 total sacks and was the outside linebackers coach until his retirement in 2014.

I don't think sacks were an official stat catergory in 1979, so it may be difficult to find numbers on that.
