It happened to Dom Capers, then to Mike Pettine and now Joe Barry. The defensive coordinator position for the Green Bay Packers is not for the faint of heart and doesn't always yield the highest approval ratings among fans.
Joe Barry, in his third year running the Packers defense, can most charitably be considered a lightning rod after a brutal performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one that threatened the Packers' previously vibrant playoff hopes.
Though the snowballing struggles of Green Bay's defense bodes poorly for Barry's long-term job security in Green Bay, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he wasn't going to make a coaching change with three games left in the season.
