    Matt LaFleur Admits Intentions For The Future Of DC Joe Barry

    Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers’ season ended un-ceremoniously on Sunday Night. Following a 20-16 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Packers’ playoff hopes were dashed.  From 4-8 to a playoff berth fell one game short.  The Packers finished the season 8-9 and left a lot to be desired on the field.  Coming into the season the Packers defense was regarded to be a top-five unit in the NFL.  Needless to say, they fell drastically short of those expectations. On Monday Matt LaFleur was asked about the Packers’ intentions regarding defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

    Packers Don’t Expect To Move On From DC Joe Barry

    Per Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire:

    Matt LaFleur said he “anticipates” Joe Barry being his defensive coordinator next season. Not expecting many staff changes for 2023.  The Packers gave up 371 points in 2021 and 371 points in 2022.   If Joe Barry is back next year, it’ll be the first time he’s made it to Year 3 as the defensive coordinator. Two years and out in Detroit, two years and out in Washington.
    The Packers’ defense finished the 2022 season ranked:
    • 6th overall in passing yards allowed (3,349 yards, 197 per game)
    • 26th overall in rushing yards allowed (2,372 yards, 139 per game)
    • 4th overall (tied) in interceptions (17)
    • 18th overall in forced fumbles (12)
    • 17th (tied) overall in points allowed per game (21.8)

    The Packers’ defense certainly wasn’t the worst in the league in 2022, however, they didn’t even come close to reaching expectations.  Next year Green Bay will get back DE Rashan Gary back which will vastly help the rush defense.

      Then you deserve to be fired after your team starts out next year 0-4 and defense in last place! I’ve never seen such a undisciplined defense in ever! Barry can’t or won’t adjust his calls during games!

      LaFleur needs to realize it’s not about friendships and loyalty. People either get the job done or not. His own coaching and play calling was horrendous at times this year. I’m not even sure he should return.

      This is one of the unique aspects of a community owned franchise. Changes and adjustments are so slow when correcting a deficiency. It is like affirmative action. Firing and repairing malfunctioning parts won’t come quick enough. It’s a shame Payton is no longer an option for LaFluer’s chair. NFL means Not For Long.

      Really, the defense played well enough to win most games. This played out in this season’s last game, and last season’s playoff game, the defense got stops, and the offense underperformed. There like a handful of games this year, where the defense really got it put on them, and Minnesota game 1, Buffalo, and Philly. Even still, the defense got lots of stops in the 2nd half of those games, and the offense couldn’t quite do enough.
