Joe Barry'd again

I'd be worried that the assistant who takes over on the interim inevitably benefits from briefly more inspired play and then get serious consideration for the permanent job.

I'm standing by my call that this was always looked at as a throwaway developmental year, which why Barry was kept for 2023 in the first place. And nothing has changed with Leonhard other than the fact he stayed close by and didn't commit to anything he couldn't easily walk away from. If he's the guy as I suspect, it would be an offseason move.

IF MLF finally has the stones to can Barry (and this isn't a given) I hope he looks outside the organization for Joe's replacement.  A change in culture just might be the elixir this group needs to excel going forward.

What choice does he have but to go outside the organization?  The lack of a viable replacement is why Barry is still in the building today.

I pretty much want to see a clean sweep of that D room.  A couple will probably manage to be back, but a really sharp DC is going to want his guys.

Why is Barry still employed? 

There is a decent chance Barry will be here until the end of the season.  Just my gut feeling...

Something I do find kind of funny is that GB's pass defense (29) is now ranked lower than its run defense (26)

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry...

Agreed. While nothing would seem to be as good as having him on for the remainder of the season, my hope is their mind is made up and now they need to figure out who is on the candidate list. Considering MLF could be on a short leash himself next year if they lose out, that may have a serious impact on whether or not a qualified DC would even consider coming to GB.

I can tell you our defense sucks, bigtime without any alphabet soup analytics. It was so bad yesterday I wanted to poke my eyes out so I couldn't watch anymore. 

I couldn't bring myself to turn it off or look the other way. It was a terrible car accident over and over in slow motion.

FIRE FRENCHY LAFLEUR because he doesn't have the balls to fire the assclown defensive un-coordinator. 

I agree but you post still made me LOL!  My hubby had to ask me what I found so funny just now.  lol

We're stuck with Barry for the rest of this year....then we'll see. I wonder what LeFleur's excuse will be this year if he does not fire him.  Consistency and continuity did not work out well for him this year. LaFleur needs to become more of a head coach and not an offensive coordinator.

I'll give Barry this: Our secondary yesterday was made of up a bunch of players that would not start for most NFL teams. I think that is why he played zone almost exclusively against a very good Buc's receiving core. We did not match up well with that individual talent. I don't know what to say about the inside linebackers however...especially Campbell. In this game, he looked like his career is finished. He's never been a tough guy, however in this game he looks as though he has lost all the explosion and speed he came into the league with.

Yes, our DBs are mostly guys who wouldn't start elsewhere but Tampa's QB isn't Mahomes.  Campbell might not be 100% but it is still nuts to put LBs on WRs.  Doing so isn't doing your LBs any favors.

Barry's gone whether it's today or a few weeks from now.  Firing MLF would be a mistake.  Might be standing alone on this forum average fan well that's another story. 

If MLF doesn't have the stones to can Barry before the 2024 offseason HE should be fired.

I'd tend to agree.  That will not be the case.

I legit couldn't figure out the first few times I read this if it was parody. 

It's like the movie, "Groundhog Day!" The difference in the Packer movie is that Bill Murray (Joe Barry) doesn't learn a damned thing from the last time he lived the same day!

He doesn't have the stones and he won't be fired.

It will go down like Office Space.  You don't need to fire someone, you just need the glitch to be "worked out".  Barry won't have a contract after the year is up.  Issue resolved without the need to fire him.

[JBURGE]

Watching MLF presser, he confirmed the plan is for JB to stay until the end of the year. 

 

The youtube chat went from Fire Joe Barry to Fire MLF lol

[Spartacus]

Matt LaFleur says the plan is for Joe Barry to remain the defensive play-caller for the rest of the season.

I like MLF and I like his offense but he absolutely has no nuts....
