Source: Dolphins hiring ex-Packers DC Joe Barry to staff

Former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry was not out of work for long.

Less than two weeks after he was fired following three seasons in Green Bay, Barry will join the Miami Dolphins coaching staff, a source confirmed. Barry will return to his roots and coach linebackers.

In his final season as Packers defensive coordinator, Barry's unit ranked 17th overall in yards allowed but was 10th in points allowed. However, they ranked 28th and 26th in rushing yards allowed the last two seasons.

NFL Network was first to report Barry's hiring by the Dolphins.
