Good. I was getting a little worried.
Should I lock the fire Barry thread?
Or lock this one Poppa San. I just threw it up to let people know.

Maybe just rename it to 'Fire the DC' because I'm sure after the next hiring or by week 1 there will be calls to fire them.
I only laugh because there's so much truth to it!
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result.
If I didn't stick this one, I'd be merging several more throughout the day. Maybe time to stick the search for a DC thread too.
I was kinda surprised the Fire JB thread is 2.5 years old.

Lock the Barry thread, and go to the future with this one. Just my opinion.

Makes sense too. Too many threads, too many repeats.
Done. Also posted in the DC name thread to move it back to top of list.

Matt Schneidman and Tom Silverstein, Packers beat reporters, both state they confirmed Pelissero's original reporting.
ALSO BREAKING: Adam Schefter reports Barry MAY BE RETAINED in a different capacity.

And just like that, losing to the Niners suddenly became worth it.
As a Packer fan, I am glad they are moving on from Barry. I don't think he's a very good DC, didn't like the hire from the get-go and it was definitely time to move on.
As a human being, I'm glad Barry at least finished relatively strong and can go out with some pride. Having their playoff hopes squashed by Carolina late in that game would have been a humiliating way to go out and I would have hated to see that for him.

Hey, if he wants to stick around as the mail room supervisor, I'm good with that... I think.
Parking lot coordinator. No backups as his schemes don't stop anyone.
No chance of your car getting dinged as there would be about 8-10 yards between cars.

Wording is important, so was it "RETAINED" or "DETAINED?"

Joe Barry seems like a decent enough guy, but he's one of those old style of coaches that tries to fit players into his scheme. Even if you think that you've drafted "your type of guys," a great coach learns what he has and devises schemes to highlight and utilize his players' skills. Barry struggled to do that. Square peg / Round hole.
I hear that Ed Donnatell is available!

Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
Why? It was 82 pages long. This thread should have been merged into it.....IMO.

Seriously, let's hope that the next DC has a better resume than what Joe Barry brought to the table. While I'm not sad to see him go, the defensive woes are not all his fault. I think Gute deserves some blame from drafting too many project players in the first round. Too much emphasis on the development side of the draft and development equation. The only Gute defensive pick in the first three rounds to make a pro bowl or All Pro was Jaire. That's not a good record. I hope the next DC can get all those first round picks to play up to their draft status. It's a tall order. Good luck to whomever gets hired.
