The Green Bay Packers are hiring Joe Barry to be the team’s new defensive coordinator, according to both Rob Demovsky of ESPN and Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Previously a defensive coordinator for both the Detroit Lions and Washington Football Team, Barry is heading to Green Bay after four years serving as the assistant head coach and linebackers coach for Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams.
Barry had accepted a job with former Rams defensive coordinator and current Chargers head coach Brandon Staley to be the team’s new defensive passing game coordinator.
