[QUOTE="PWT, post: 551702, member: 1506"] ] EL Guapo I never heard of any talk about firing Meyers because of Packer bad defense instead of Firing Packer Head Coach Bart Starr and his entire staff . Bart Starr was fired fired from his position of Packer Head Coach because what happened on Sunday, December 18, 1983 ,with a playoff berth on the line in Chicago, The Packer failed to win the game against the Bears. With the Packer leading 21-20 and the Bears driving for a last minute field goal, Starr refused to use Packer remaining time outs to conserve time . As result of Starr's bad decision the Packers had only 10 seconds- instead of minute or so to attempt retake the lead after Bear kicker Bob Thomas kicked a 22 yard to put the Bears ahead 23-21. Packer President Robert Parins and some of Packer Executive Committee members were at Packer-Bear game in Chicago and were very upset over Packers loss to the Bears, the Packers loss of a NFL play off berth, and Bart Starr poor decision in not using the Packers remaining time outs during final two minute at the end of the game. On Monday morning, December 19, 1983 in Green Bay , The Packer 7 member Executive Committee and its chairperson Packer President Robert Parins vote 7-0 to fire Bart Starr. Packer President Robert Parins immediately went over to Bart Starr office and informed Bart Starr of the Packer Executive Committee decision to remove him from the position of Packer Head Coach I can not find any source who named the person who took over the position of Packer General Manger after Packer top management stripped Bart Starr of Packer General management in 1980. I could not find any source who named the person who ran the Packers drafts from 1981-1983. I would think the Packer head coach Bart Starr would have had some input who the Packers were drafting in 1981 -1983- I don't know who had final authority over who was drafted by Packers from 1981 to 1983. I remember hearing a rumor in 1981 that Bart Starr sent his QB Coach Zeke Bratkoski to California to work out University of California's. QB Rich Campbell. I heard that Bratkowski gave Bart Starr an excellent report on Rich Campbell's work out and Campbell's QB skills. The Packers drafted QB Rich Campbell with 3r pick overall in the 1981 draft . Campbell was a 3rd string QB during his 4 years with the Packers from 1981 to 1984. Rich Campbell ATT Comp Int TD passes 1981-1984 68 33 9 3 Bart Starr was always there for Packer Franchise it its time of need . Bart Starr is true gentleman . A Packer Hall of Famer , Pro football Hall of Famer and Great Packer QB with 5 NFL Championship rings. Bart Starr as Packer QB was great leader on the playing Field and off the playing field.
