Coaches to replace both Joe Barry and Lafleur

Posted on December 21, 2023

The Green Bay Packers have experienced a recent decline, primarily attributed to their defensive struggles. The team’s defense, led by coordinator Joe Barry, faced setbacks, conceding 24 points to the New York Giants and 34 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in consecutive weeks. The mounting challenges have intensified speculation about Barry’s job security, with reports suggesting interest from various quarters.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler notes the scrutiny on coordinators, highlighting the pressure on Packers DC Joe Barry. The coaching industry is reportedly keeping a close eye on his situation, indicating the potential for a change depending on the defense’s performance in the final weeks of the 2023 NFL regular season.

Barry’s position is further complicated by the Packers’ middling defensive rankings this season, standing 17th in scoring defense, allowing 21.5 points per game. The team’s struggles against the run are evident, ranking 30th with 138.8 rushing yards surrendered per outing. The pass defense also faced challenges, notably in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, where Baker Mayfield exploited vulnerabilities for 381 yards and four touchdowns.

Despite these difficulties, there remains a window for Barry to reverse the team’s fortunes. The upcoming Week 16 matchup against the Carolina Panthers presents an opportunity for the Packers’ defense to shine. Subsequent games against the Minnesota Vikings, without quarterback Kirk Cousins in Week 17, and the Chicago Bears at home in Week 18 offer chances for redemption.

Joe Barry, appointed as the Packers’ defensive coordinator in 2021, brought a wealth of experience from his roles with the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Redskins, and San Diego Chargers. In 2021, the Packers allowed 21.8 points per game under his leadership.

As the Packers navigate the crucial final weeks of the season, all eyes are on Joe Barry and the defensive unit’s ability to address the challenges and potentially secure his coaching future in Green Bay.
