Packers Eve Talk With Lombardi
GREEN BAY Wis AP Rumors over the weekend suggested Vince Lombardi planned to quit the Packers to join the Washington Redskins as coach general manager and part owner. Packers officials said they would confer with their general manager who had stayed out of touch amid the chatter. Lombardi reportedly decided on his own to cease coaching the NFL club and Packers executives noted ownership constraints would limit any glamour of Packers ownership. Tony Canadeo said no meeting was set to discuss plans and ledgers of publicized talk. Richard Bourguigman added that publicity may push Lombardi to meet the team.
