Matt LaFleur hinted that he plans very little – if any – changes to his staff.
LaFleur's reasoning for retaining Barry is reminiscent to a year ago. The Packers closed 2021 with a dominant defensive performance against the San Francisco 49ers, holding coach Kyle Shanahan's offense to six points in an NFC divisional playoff loss at Lambeau Field. It was the impetus for skyrocketing expectations that didn't materialize until it was too late in 2022.
LaFleur said he anticipates retaining his entire coaching staff, not just Barry. That includes quarterbacks coach Tom Clements, who returned from retirement before the season to rejoin Aaron Rodgers. Though he has yet to conduct exit interviews with his assistant coaches, a process he hopes to complete in the next 10 days, LaFleur believes continuity on his staff is important for the Packers to rebound next season.
LaFleur is unsure if Hackett would join his staff when he spoke with Hackett after the Broncos fired him. If LaFleur relinquishes play-calling duties, he would make the same decision former Packers coach Mike McCarthy chose after his team lost in the NFC championship game at Seattle in 2014. McCarthy, hoping to take a broader view in all phases of the game, tabbed Clements to call plays for the offense in 2015. The experiment lasted only 12 games before McCarthy resumed calling plays.
