BREAKING: Joe Barry Won’t Return As Packers Defensive Coordinator

Packers fans get their wish.

Joe Barry will not return as Green Bay’s defensive coordinator.

The move comes two days after Packers coach Matt LaFleur declined to comment on Barry’s job status and said he was “going to go through the process at my own pace.”

LaFleur will be on his third defensive coordinator in six seasons when he hires a replacement for Barry, who had one year left on his contract. Barry had been the Packers’ defensive coordinator since replacing Mike Pettine in 2021.
