packfanfb Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Been a rough couple of weeks for Matt. Had enough coaching blunders against Tampa that even the homer GB media was questioning whether he should give up play-calling to focus on the larger aspects of being a HC. Now, he'll be scorned about these choices for DC and ST and eventually burned if they don't work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hey - lets try to put some positive spin on this. How's Barry's work with linebackers? Forget his previous DC stints.....since then, has he separated himself based on the linebacking units he's coached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The best approach would be to hire Evero and bring Wade Phillips to be the senior defensive assistant. That would've solved any experience issues. Of course that's if Wade even wants to come here. Regardless, Barry wasn't going anywhere. LaFleur could've waited a bit longer to interview Tampa/Kansas coaches and allow himself the opportunity to make a more informed decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Total Fail. We downgraded... He was trash with Detroit, he was trash with Washington. Should've hired the guy from Philly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Tom Silverstein - Big question with Barry is whether he will try to install the Vic Fangio-Brandon Staley system that led to the Rams being No. 1 in defense last year or he will lean on the Tampa 2 he grew up in under Monte Kiffin. Packers are built to be a 3-4 team and Fangio system is 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather he stick with what we have and be more aggressive than go to the Tampa 2 system that probably wouldn't work with this personnel... ...our luck he reverts back to Kiffin's dated system...

HeresAGuy Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 jesus.......... just draft offense this entire draft. Might as well beat teams with an unbeatable offense. I have no faith in attempting to do anything in defense ever again. Just pretend its an unfortunate sidebar until getting the offense back on the field.

Should've hired the guy from Philly... I'll say this. I'm not totally against going the "experience" route because as I said when we first started, the Packers are in "win now" mode so you could be taking a risk bringing in a guy who needs to learn how to be a good DC for the first 1-2 years (like MLF is learning to be a HC). So I don't necessarily fault MLF there. My problem is, why in the hell would you pick Joe Barry out of the group of available guys with that "experience?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 This is payback for all you guys bitching about Murphy being involved in the hiring process. His involvement got us MLF which got us 26-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
