I don't know. McDaniel knows Barry as well as anybody and if his experience with him was positive, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Barry and Hackett's styles may have clashed badly. For example, if Barry is familiar with outside zone rushing schemes and Hackett ran more of a traditional offense, the fundamentals of blocking may have clashed.
Am I the only one who thinks that we might have fired Applebaum due to the availability of Barry? We might actually find this to be a sneakily good hire.
