The #Redskins announce today the team will not retain the following four assistant coaches:
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) January 5, 2017
Robb Akey
Joe Barry
Mike Clark
Perry Fewell
The #Redskins have fired defensive coordinator Joe Barry and at least one assistant, source said. Not a surprise, given players comments.

Skins coach Jay Gruden is parting with his entire defensive staff I'm told. Starting over on that side of the ball

When Barry was hired, I argued then that he would be a fall guy if things didn't go well. You can't do that w/Wade Phillips.

Redskins also have fired strength coach Mike Clark, source says.

Firing whole defensive staff makes me think #Redskins could consider a big hire like Rex Ryan.. Make him assoc HC & choose own staff..

Joe Barry wasn't given a lot of talent to coach but didn't get a ton out of what he had. Not surprised. Bet they have a big name in mind.

When you clear an entire staff, you've got someone in mind. #Redskins

Had heard complaints about Fewell since beginning of last season. Thought it had improved. Heard more about him Monday.
