Packers' Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry's Job at Risk After Poor Performance

Head Coach Matt LaFleur's Decision to Retain Barry Could Cost Him His Own Job

Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator Joe Barry's job is in jeopardy after another poor performance from the team's defense, despite head coach Matt LaFleur's previous insistence on keeping him through the end of the season.
The Packers' defense allowed 30 points to the NFL-worst Panthers, nearly blowing a 30-16 lead held midway through the fourth quarter.
LaFleur's decision to retain Barry for a third season has been heavily criticized, with some suggesting it could cost LaFleur his own job if the team's performance does not improve.
Despite having eight first-round draft picks on the defensive side of the ball, the Packers rank 23rd in yards allowed per game and 17th in points allowed.
LaFleur is expected to dismiss Barry at the end of the season and begin searching for his third defensive coordinator.
