They lost a quality control coach to the Broncos. He'll be their new DB coach.

I would not blame Joe Barry for "failing" in Detroit or Washington. Those clubs had no culture for achieving anything. I look at this as a breathe of fresh air ............. a fresh start for LaCoach's staff and the Green Bay Packers. Excuse me ............. Special Teams next please :thwap:

Actually the 2007 Lions were pretty respectable until we beat them in the Thanksgiving game. I think they were like 7-2 going into that game and then finished the season like 7-9. Shaun Rogers for the Lions was a beast.

Really excited and happy to hear that Barry is aggressive and downill.

I just think defensive mentality is the biggest thing we need to get better at.

We better hope this guy had a talent issue as a DC before. In terms of yards he was last both times in Detroit and 28th both times in Washington. Looking at his stats they’re horrible.

Umm :? ... alright, if you say so.

Based on what I knew of him and the other potential candidates (which is F-all) I am pretty underwhelmed by this decision, but this is one of those decisions where I just patently do not have the kind of information LaFleur had.

I do think MLF has done well enough to warrant the benefit-of-the-doubt. And let's not forget, LaFleur and Hackett for that matter both seemed pretty underwhelming based on the units they had led. 'Only so much you can do as a coach with talent deficiencies, and both the Lions and WFT fielded some pretty talent-devoid rosters in the years Barry was there.

If nothing else, he has just about all the talent on D he could ask for to achieve his vision. CB room behind our star player is a bit weak, but everything is pretty good.

Also, McCarthy before we hired him was 30th in points and 32nd in yards.

Like others not super excited, but got to give him a fair chance. He does seem to have been under quite a few philosophies and hopefully is flexible to adapt his defenses to fit the teams strengths.

I agree with everyone else. Not my first choice, but I acknowledge my expertise on this topic is near zero and MLF has definitely earned the benefit of the doubt. Obviously will be rooting for him hardcore.

Would be easier to get hyped by a sexier name, but like others have said, I have no idea what kinda coaching talent Barry really is. LaFleur has accumulated enough trust that I'll just wait with cautious optimism.

I do have to admit this is a prime chance for people to prematurely position themselves against the hire, just so they can reserve the option to say "I told you so" later...

This will not be Capers III. He has a reputation for being able to disguise his defenses well, at least last time with the Rams. And if we gained a DC who has disciplined units AND pulls tricks out of his hat, we’ll see stuff that we haven’t seen for too long.

Great LaChoice by LaFluer.

This sums up this situation very nicely. Great post.
