Official Fire Chuck Berry Thread

FYI….Leonard has no coaching ties to Barry. He would have been a great DC for the packers talent

Leonhard was hired by Chryst, who was hired by Alvarez. It is like McCarthy having ties to Walsh because he coached under Hackett, who coached under Walsh.

Wisconsin should hire my childhood idol, Neon Deion Sanders. All them 4-5 stars recruits would be flocking to Madison to play for Coach Prime.

FIRW BWRRY!

I remember a comment John Madden made during that 1985 season when everyone was talking about the Bears' 46 defense. Madden said it wasn't the scheme that made it elite but the players in that scheme. He said that elite players can make any scheme look great. That 1985 team had 9 Pro Bowl players and 4 Hall of Fame players - most of them were on defense. Mike Ditka was not a good coach, nor was Buddy Ryan. But they looked like geniuses when they had lights-out talent.

Well, generally I agree with you. I think Madden was right, but on the other hand, I think it's hard to argue that this defense is less than the sum of its parts. You've got a rock-solid safety in Amos, three of the top corners in the league, a first round ILB who's fast, Devondre Campbell, who's been a wonder, Rashan Gary - what a pass rusher - Preston Smith, again solid as a rock, and an elite nose tackle in Kenny Clark.

That's a lot of defensive talent. Barry has molded and shaped that talent - into a turd.

With more to come.

The defense has been decent. If the offense wasn’t so god awful, the defense wouldn’t be put right back on the field over and over and over. I like this defense.

Sanders would never come to Wisconsin IMO

Last week this defense gave up points on 5 consecutive drives. TD's on 3 consecutive drives. It would have been 4 consecutive drives with TD's if the half hadn't ended. And unlike the offense, the defense has been practically injury-free. Did I mention there are 7 1st round picks on this defense? This defense defines underachiever.

The underachievment is spelled B A R R Y (or Berry - whatever works hahahaha).

I want Barry gone now, but it will likely be the end of the season, if at all. This is really MLF’s problem. He hired the bum. What if he decides to dig his heels in and keep him for another season?

Vic Fangio is a defensive consultant with the Eagles. Could be available for a DC job. His name was mentioned as a possible replacement back when the Packers fired Capers. At the time it was thought he wouldn't be interested in Packers job because he was a Capers disciple and didn't think the firing of Capers was justified.

Are you really judging our defense based on how it played against the best quarterback in the NFL and the best overall offense? Our defense hasn't been as good as it should be but when you judge them based on a five drive series against the best offense and ignore the interceptions in the second half to try to keep us in the game you're not being fair.

Vic is a more modernized version of capers. It would be awesome if they hired him and I had advocated it in the past but Barry will get to finish this season regardless

The defense disappearing for long stretches of games has been a problem all year. The week before they gave up points on 3 straight 2nd half drives in a very winnable game. Getting 2 4th quarter INT's against Bills with the game already lost looks good on the stat sheet, but isn't very impactful.

I will not bag on barry until he coaches a bad playoff game. SF didn't RUN all over us like every other team in the playoffs has the last few years. ST and dysfunctional offense lost that game. If barry costs us a playoff game I'll be on the "YOU'RE FIRED!!" bandwagon.
