Well, I guess Barry did not want to jump on a sinking ship as this is obviously Clay Helton's last year at USC....Overall, Barry brings positive energy and some of the linebackers have been good, but I guess I will always fear that someday as long as he's a position coach with the Rams, there is possibility of him being DC and I never want that to happen IMHO.

That's an irrational fear, Mr. Coach Den.

Nah I think McVay realizes he is what he is and that's a good position coach. The DC hire should tell us he doesn't view Barry as a DC. Interviewed him 100% out of respect for his time here under Wade.

I think it was actually reported that Barry was never actually interviewed for the DC job.

At this point the biggest thing I worry about with the Mcvay Era as it is currently being built is pricing ourselves out of Cap space.

However I do see the long game being played by these guys with a new CBA and locking in absolute different makers across the roster.

Absolutely need to have stable things in place to develop the young talent coming in as we will be relying on that very stability.

He was interviewed, you might be thinking of the RB coach from Texas. We supposedly liked him but never interviewed him. Barry did get an interview there were a few people tweeting about it.

I don't have the energy to find the report. I remember seeing that tweet about Barry being interviewed and it was a bit before the Stanley hire.

But after the Stanley hire I saw something (to my memory a credible source) that said Barry was never actually interviewed for the DC job. He and Sean had a meeting but it wasn't an interview for that position.

Which kind of fits with him turning down USC and sticking with Asst. Head Coach/ Line backers coach. Mcvay and Barry are likely very close and Mcvay leans on him.

There meeting may have even been about what defensive minds are out there.

Well I’m going to have to go with @OldSchool on this one since he did quote a creditable source.

Like I said I think you're mixing up interviews it was the guy from Texas the RB coach who stayed we never had interest in.

People hate her around here but she's tapped in.

Or maybe Kroenke has more money than USC, or God, and was willing to spend a bit of it.

Joe Barry turns down USC to remain with Rams

Joe Barry turned down an offer to become USC’s defensive coordinator to remain with the Rams, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

Barry reportedly interviewed for the Rams’ defensive coordinator position last week after the team parted ways with Wade Phillips. The Rams hired Broncos outside linebackers coach Brandon Staley as their new defensive coordinator.

Barry, though, has decided to stay on staff.

He has signed a new contract as the team’s associate head coach/linebackers coach, according to Thiry.

Barry has spent the past three seasons on the Rams’ coaching staff. He served as Washington’s defensive coordinator in 2015 and 2016 and also ran the defense for the Lions in 2007 and 2008.
