GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers are giving Joe Barry a third chance as an NFL defensive coordinator.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced Monday he was making Barry defensive coordinator and Maurice Drayton special teams coordinator. LaFleur already had indicated during a Zoom session with reporters last week he was promoting Drayton to special teams coordinator.
Barry has nearly two decades of experience as an NFL assistant coach. He previously worked as a defensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions (2007-2008) and Washington (2015-16).
He spent the past four seasons on the Los Angeles Rams’ staff, where he was an assistant head coach/linebackers coach.
