Joe Barry (born July 5, 1970) is an American football coach. Barry is the son of former Detroit Lions offensive line coach Mike Barry, and the son-in-law of Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.

Barry played linebacker at the University of Michigan from 1989 to 1990 before transferring to the University of Southern California. Prior to coaching in the NFL, Barry held coaching positions in college football at Northern Arizona, UNLV, and USC.

At a press conference on December 21, 2008, following the Lions' 42-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Detroit News sports columnist Rob Parker addressed a question about Barry to Rod Marinelli, inquiring whether Marinelli wished that his daughter had "married a better defensive coordinator."[1] (Barry was the Lions' defensive coordinator at the time.) The question was criticized as unprofessional and inappropriate. The next day, Parker wrote that the comment was "an attempt at humor" and not a malicious attack.[2] Parker has not written for the Detroit News since, and has not attended any press conferences since the incident, including the one Marinelli gave following his dismissal as head coach of the Lions. On January 6, 2009, the Detroit News announced that Parker had resigned from the newspaper the previous week.[3]

Barry signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as linebackers coach. On January 26, 2010, it was announced that the Jaguars released Barry from his contract so he can join the University of Southern California as their linebackers coach.[4] Barry was hired as the Washington Redskins defensive coordinator for the 2015 season, and was fired after the 2016 season.[5]

He was the LB coach for Tampa Bay, and Jon Gruden from 2001-2006 (TB won the SB in 2003) and of course the DC for Jay Gruden in 2015 and 2016.

Oh my god, he was DC in Detroit under Rod Marinelli and the defense was awful. At one point a reporter asked Marinelli if he wished his daughter had married a better coach.

The defense was terrible the year before they went 0-16 but Marinelli kept his son in law and fired OC Mike Martz. Then they went 0-16 and they all got fired.

He's infamous...

Seems like he has been a good LB coach but as DC no bueno.

Wonder why he's getting the assistant HC title? I don't mind him being a LB coach under Phillips but to my ear, assistant HC sounds like it's kind of high up the food chain.
