The Cowboys were Favre's favorite team, and they beat him like a drum. When Rodgers came in, he became a Cowboy killer. But the 49ers were Rodgers' favorite team, and he couldn't beat them. Hopefully now that we have Love, the 49ers curse will be over. Anyone know what Love's favorite team was when he was growing up?

He grew up in Bakersfield, CA so probably one of the 4 CA teams. I didn’t know that he was named after Michael Jordan.
Really good article about his younger years below. I like the kid even more.

Boooooo
I could never stand the Bulls, but that's not a bad role model for an athlete to follow.
That's okay, I don't think they're on the schedule next year.

I thought maybe he was named after Dennis Rodman.

I don't know, but he and the Packers gave me a good one yesterday!

Can we talk about the Elephant in the Room now?
Yesterday, may have just extended Joe Barry's Career in GB.
Hats off to Joe for what he did yesterday. He put together a GREAT gameplan to stuff a very high scoring, dangerous Dallas offense, in THEIR house.

frankly Im not seeing it. The last 6 min was a total example of why he needs shown the door. A clock is correct 2x a day.

Well if you are only basing it on the last 6 minutes of yesterdays game, than MLF has to go too, the offense was pathetic. That is also not giving Barry (or MLF) the deserved credit for the other 54 minutes that the starters were playing. Personally, I think the only mistake that MLF made yesterday was pulling the starters 1 series too early on both sides of the ball.
Anyway, Barry may still be on the hotseat, but I think yesterday might have provided him a lifeline. I'm not saying Barry needs to stay, but after watching both playoff games yesterday, Barry had the best defense on the field of the 4 teams.
I Saw a lot of individual effort that m not sure was there in earlier games. The D coordinator needs to bring that out all year. I fir one do not want to see Barry back.

Should we re-hire JB if somehow we win the whole thing?

Even then I do not think so. New contract? Let Barry go coach SF or a defense lol

I agree and to be clear, I am not a Joe Barry fan. That said, with all the talent on the Packer D, yesterday was the kind of coaching (and playing) that many had expected from the Packers defense, including me. If we see that level of a performance against the Niners, it will be hard for MLF to justify purging Barry.

Yes, after the way the D has been playing these last few weeks may induce MLF to extend Barry.

For some reason I was thinking he was a Chargers fan. I think maybe they mentioned that on one of the post-game radio shows a couple years ago.
Well, at least they're in a different conference.

As it looks likely that Barry is coming back, here's how I look at him at this point in his tenure:
Teaching, B-: It has taken too long to bear fruit, but I do think Barry is capable of communicating the scheme in a way that players can retain as evidenced by all the young/inexperienced guys functioning in the defense this season.
Culture/Buy-In, C-: Barry has had to weather the storm of some veterans who really don't care for their role in the defense, especially the better cornerbacks on the roster. Earlier this season when it seemed clear that he would be fired, there was minimal player-support in the media (though a little). That said, his defense never fully quit and obviously is playing hard now when it matters most.
Personnel Development, INC: Prior to this season, the defense was populated by lots of vets the Barry inherited that were past the developmental stage of their career. This season, there are a lot of young guys in the defense, many who are playing well, but it's too early to say how well they're being developed.
Personnel Deployment, D: Barry has failed to find ways to take advantage of what his players do best at a number of turns. Specifically, I think of how little they've used Walker as a blitzer this season, how Gary seems to be coached to rush high-side over and over to virtually no benefit, how Alexander and Douglas were so routinely ticked off.
Gameplanning, B+: I think this is Barry's best quality. He has demonstrated an ability to develop a good gameplan in big spots on a number of occasions (e.g. @DET, Vs CHI, this wildcard game, etc). No one bats 1.000 in this regard, but I think Barry is probably better than average.
Playcalling, D: The only reason this isn't an F is because they've become more aggressive and less predictable on defense since LaFleur took a more active role post-TB. Left to his own devices, Barry's play-calling is soft, timid, and extremely easy for opponents to pick apart.
Overall, C-: Barry isn't a disaster. He's competent in a lot of ways. But I don't think he adds value to the defense. I think what you put in is what you will get out. Lately, he's looked better than that, but we have seen that happen late in a season before and it hasn't carried over to the next year. Hopefully the improvements of this most recent surge will stick, but I'm not counting on it.

He actually has had decent game plans in the playoffs. 2 years ago 49ers scored 10 pts. Too bad our qb wasn't named Love then!

I don’t think the defensive performance against Dallas should make it more likely to keep Barry because -after all- Dak just had a bad day.

Yes.
If we play great defense going forward, why would you change anything?
Something changed with the defense. MLF said he was devoting more attention on to the defense. Since then, they have played very well. Does his input improve game planning? Does he inspire the players to a new level? Did he make some fundamental scheme adjustments? Did he adjust playcalling? If some issues were corrected and we will continue playing at this level, why would you change?
I agree if they win the Sb or even loose. Why fire him
