The Green Bay Packers have undergone a significant amount of changes this off-season. Of course, the firing of Joe Barry has taken most of the headlines so far. However, the new coaching staff surrounding the defense has been notable as well.
While fans will obviously be excited to see what the 2024 Packers look like, there will still be a number of fans who follow previous coaches and players as they start new jobs. That will be the case once again next season.
Former Green Bay Packers Coach Already Finds New Home In The AFC
Robin Adams of Wisconsin Sports Heroics highlighted the news:
The Green Bay Packers‘ decision to move on from Joe Barry has been just about as popular among fans as the initial decision to hire him was unpopular. After three long years that saw the Packers’ defense underperform despite having eight first round picks, head coach Matt LaFleur finally made the decision that a change was necessary.
n Barry’s place, the Packers hired Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley. His hiring has also meant that several Packers defensive coaches, including defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, were let go. Montgomery, who had been the longest-tenured coach in Green Bay having first been hired in 2015, recently took a job with the New England Patriots.
Early Tuesday morning, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that Joe Barry has found a new position on a new team. He is being hired by the Miami Dolphins to be their linebackers coach/run game coordinator.
Of course, coaching with the Dolphins that Barry will face former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice a year. Both the Dolphins and New York Jets are in the AFC East.
