    I don't think Evero is available for a lateral move. He is getting HC interviews, and if he doesn't get a HC job, I expect Carolina will keep him.

    I think Martindale's stock has dropped a bit. Blitz-heavy scheme that gave up big plays and did not stop the run. But if MLF wants someone totally unlike Barry, he would fit the bill.

    Not sure Vrabel is looking for a DC position.

    Like all the other names.

    Packers have made it official:

    Joe Barry will not return as defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Head Coach Matt LaFleur made the announcement Wednesday.

    Barry has worked as an NFL coach for 22 seasons, including the last three years as the defensive coordinator for the Packers.

    "We want to thank Joe for his commitment and contributions to our success the past three seasons," said LaFleur. "These decisions are extremely difficult and Joe is one of the best men I've had the opportunity to work with in this league."

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I'm happy about this within limits. The limit is that LaFleur supposedly likes Barry's style of D and will go for somebody who uses a similar scheme. That probably means no "Jimmy" or the guy I chose in the poll as my choice, Aranda. It also would tend to rule out a lot of the others on the list - Martindale, Zimmer, etc..
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    huh. they actually did it.

    now, the next step is really important: don't screw up the DC hire.

    As for Barry, poor dude had people razzing him and his family. That's... crossing a line. It's a frigging game. From what I heard he's a great guy and works well with everyone in the building. Someone losing their job is not exactly something I would celebrate under all but the most unusual circumstances.

    That said, I think this was the right move.

    I wish him luck in the future. Unfortunate that he couldn't change his tune here in GB, but I'm not surprised.

    I read Carlson had to take his instagram account private as well.

    2) Ejiro Evero
    Wink Martindale
    3) Rex Ryan

    Thats my top 3. Offer Jim the job right now and if he refuses again, wait a beat on Evero to see if he is available after they hire a new HC. If he isn't available call Sexy Rexy. After that I could go in a lot of directions, but those 3 would excite me.

    Its a good week. First Griffin is removed from a job he clearly can't handle, now this. Hopefully we make a more inspiring hire than Doc Rivers. We have the advantage of it being the offseason so we should be able to.

    Very happy Barry is out. We need a DC that can use our multiple #1 defensive draft picks play to their full potential.

    I understand Jim Leonhard was a hot commodity several years ago, but what has he done since then to improve his defensive coaching skill set in the NFL?

    My guess is Leonhard is at the top of MLF's list, or not on the list at all.

    It probably did if you consider it. Those MVPs were from individual stats. Stays he protected at the cost of not running the plays called or playing favorites on offense. The only goal is to win trophies not awards.

    Just got a text that fangio is out in Miami. He instantly becomes a top 2 or 3 contender
