[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 11545, member: 170"] Forrst Gregg was a great offensive lineman with Green Bay Packers. One tough "son of a gun" and always there to play with intensity.As Packer coach, well, he sure wasn't a a Vince Lombardi. It looked like he wanted to get rid of all players who played under Former Packer Head coach Bart Starr . In fact, he cut many of players who played under Bart Starr, it was said that he thought they were not loyal to him. He cut them, hoping that his players in reserve would step up and to the job, the reverse happen and Packers won only 4 games that year. He was under fire at Green Bay and took a head Coaching job a SMU, his alma mater and did a good job of resurrecting that program which had just about been destroyed by NCAA for recruiting violations. Many players under Gregg at G.B. complained that he was too tough during his many two-a-days during training camp. And blamed him for the fading of the team in the latter part of the season due being" beaten up" by their own team mates during training camp and practices. One of the most vocal players who was on the Gregg's team is retired Packer LB Brian Noble who is very critical of Gregg's way of handling his players, his training camp and practice methods. Brian said he thought these contributed to Packer teams under Gregg, fading in last part of the season. Majority of the coaches don't hold training camps or practices like Gregg did back in Gregg's coaching days at GB for the very reasons Noble stated. [/QUOTE]
