The Green Bay Packers need a new defensive coordinator. That much was decided earlier this week when head coach Matt LaFleur fired (or demoted, or otherwise removed) Joe Barry from that post. The team’s primary goal over the next week or two becomes deciding on a backfill for that job, and that individual will come in with their own schematic and strategic preferences.
The Packers also will have several needs on that side of the football, however, which could be a blessing in disguise. Yes, there are certainly a number of key players who will remain, but the team will likely be rebuilding at least the middle part of the defense.
