The green bay packers made the decision that everyone was hoping for, and fans were hoping for defensive coordinator joe barry to be fired. the packers’ strong postseason showing wasn’t enough to keep barry’s job.
Because the defensive unit was regarded as the weakest link in this talented group. Barry’s fate was sealed by a late season in which players like tommy devito and baker mayfield had their best games of the season and completely failed against the lowly carolina panthers.
despite significant capital and effort, the packers defense hasn’t improved much. Matt lafleur and the staff were patient when it was revealed that a change was required, and now it’s time to take a look at the candidates for green bay’s next defensive coordinator. ejiro evero after carolina fired frank reich, evero was given the opportunity to step in as panthers’ head coach. He is currently in talks with them, but the packers dc vacancy could make a difference.
Evero was on green bay dc’s draft list for 2021 before the packers hired joe barry. He may regret this decision now, but it’s better late than never. Evero met with matt lafleur at the rams and the two coaches worked together.with a full roster, the chance of a super bowl appearance may be more appealing than carolina’s head coach, so evero remains a championship favorite. Patrick graham, the raiders defensive coordinator, could be considered for head coaching this offseason, as he is on the seattle seahawks shortlist.
Martindale’s record before his giants career speaks for itself, as he not only led the baltimore ravens to three top-10 defensive records, but also helped them win a super bowl. al harris, a hall of famer and former pro bowl cornerback, has helped the packers take their game to the next level.
Over the past decade, he has gained valuable coaching experience with the kansas city chiefs and dallas cowboys. surely you’d expect less from a guy who has been one of the game’s best cornerbacks.
