Packers fans get their wish, maligned defensive coordinator Joe Barry won't return

Last offseason, after the Green Bay Packers failed to make the playoffs, coach Matt LaFleur retained defensive coordinator Joe Barry. It wasn't a popular move among most fans.

This offseason, the Packers made the playoffs and won a postseason game. And Barry won't return for next season.

Barry will not return to the Packers next season, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. That will play well with fans who thought Barry's defenses had underachieved.

The Packers had some bad games on defense this season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield posted a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field, the first opposing quarterback to do so.
