The Green Bay Packers made headlines on Wednesday when the organization announced that defensive coordinator Joe Barry would not return for the 2024 season.
Holding the role since 2021, Barry had been a highly-criticized coordinator during his tenure, which made his dismissal on Monday somewhat anticipated, although head coach Matt LaFleur declined to talk specifics just two days ago following the Packers’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round.
With Barry out of the picture, one name that the Packers could look to hire is former Wisconsin Badgers head coach Jim Leonhard, who was considered for the position in 2021.
