The Green Bay Packers officially moved on from Joe Barry as the defensive coordinator. On Wednesday, head coach Matt LaFleur released a statement saying that the coach will not return as the DC.
“We want to thank Joe for his commitment and contributions to our success the past three seasons,” said LaFleur. “These decisions are extremely difficult and Joe is one of the best men I’ve had the opportunity to work with in this league.”
That doesn’t mean, though, that Joe Barry won’t be in Green Bay next season. According to Rob Demovsky and Adam Schefter, from ESPN , there’s a scenario where Barry returns in another position.
“Barry still could remain on the Packers’ staff in some capacity — a possibility that is being discussed.”

The exact position hasn’t been mentioned, and it would most likely depend on who the new defensive coordinator will be and what he intends to do with his staff. So far, position coaches have been retained — which doesn’t mean there won’t be more changes in the near future.
