Dolphins have hire the veteran as linebackers coach/run game coordinator whom has made impact to his previous Team

Former Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry has reportedly found a new home.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Barry will be joining Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel’s staff. Barry will be the team’s linebackers coach and run game coordinator.

Barry was fired by the Packers following their elimination from the playoffs last month. He spent three years on Matt LaFleur’s staff in Green Bay before being relieved of duties. Barry has been a linebackers coach for several teams and had other defensive coordinator stints with Washington and Detroit earlier in his career.

The Dolphins tabbed Anthony Weaver as their new defensive coordinator. Anthony Campanile, who was the team’s linebackers coach in 2023, also interviewed for the position and it’s unclear what, if any role he will have on this year’s staff.

Christian Parker interviewed for a couple of defensive coordinator jobs in recent weeks without landing one, but he’s still set to move on from the Broncos.

Dan Graziano of ESPN reports that Parker is leaving his post as the defensive backs coach in Denver in order to take a role on the Eagles’ defensive coaching staff.

The Eagles recently hired Vic Fangio as their defensive coordinator and Parker’s first season in Denver came when Fangio was the team’s head coach in 2021. Parker spent two seasons as a quality control coach with the Packers before joining the Eagles and he coached at Texas A&M and Notre Dame before jumping to the pros.

Defensive line coach Clint Hurtt has also joined the Eagles since their season ended with a playoff loss to the Buccaneers.
