Look, I want Joe Barry gone too. For all the times the defense looks good, there are exponentially more where they look inept, soft, lazy, slow and just overall poorly coached. It's not like this group lacks talent. And they've shown at times they're talented. But they're out of position too much and I have to think Matt LaFleur is just doing his coach a solid by not openly trashing his game plans in press conferences. On the subject of LaFleur, he's proven to give at least one too many chances, sometimes more.
I know it has to be hard to fire someone but ultimately, these decisions are costing the development of the team.
