An early playoff exit means that the Green Bay Packers can now focus on checking the items on their offseason to-do list. It’s uncertain if looking for a new defensive coordinator is a part of that list, but Joe Barry can’t feel too comfortable about his job security, especially with head coach Matt LaFleur sounding non-committal about the future of the assistant coaches with the team (via Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com).
“I know there’s going to be a lot of long-term, big-picture questions. I’m not there yet, fellas,” LaFleur said in his opening statement. “We’re just starting the process. I gave everybody off yesterday. I came in yesterday and watched the tape, all three phases, but we’re just getting into the evaluation portion right now. So probably not going to have many answers for you guys. Haven’t met with any of our coaches yet. That’ll start this afternoon. Certainly meet with the coordinators and then go down with all the position coaches.”

Is Joe Barry’s Time With the Green Bay Packers Nearing Its End?
Schneidman also noted that Barry has a live contract that won’t expire at the end of the 2023 NFL season, so that’s at least one good sign for the architect of the Green Bay Packers defense since the 2021 campaign.
Under Barry, the Packers ranked 13th in 2023 in scoring defense with 21.4 points allowed per game.
