Clearly, Joe Barry’s tenure because the Inexperienced Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator hasn’t panned out as hoped. Inexperienced Bay Packers followers had been at all times going to beat a useless horse about former Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard turning down the job, however the truth that Barry’s defenses have underperformed has solely thrown gasoline on the fireplace.

Right here’s my query: What would it not take for Joe Barry to win you again?

What would you want to see out of the protection to really feel comfy with him transferring ahead, even though it felt like he was on the verge of being let go earlier than a late-season stretch of video games broke within the Packers’ favor final 12 months? I requested that query to ESPN Wisconsin’s Gabe Neitzel two weeks in the past after I joined him for “Packed Lunch.” His response, which I assumed was adequate, was that he wanted to see the protection play extra aggressively on third downs and keep away from a lot off-coverage on essential snaps.

Are there sure numerical benchmarks that you want to see the workforce clear to leap again on the Barry bandwagon? Is it extra in regards to the off- or press-coverage debate? Are you simply over the Barry period normally? Drop your reply down within the feedback.
