The 2024 season marks Barry's ninth as an NFL coach, primarily working with the offensive line. He also has 14 years of experience in the collegiate ranks.

In Barry's first season as Miami's offensive line coach in 2023, his group led the NFL in fewest quarterback hits allowed (59), despite starting 12 different offensive line combinations en route to a playoff berth. The 12 different combinations were second-most in the NFL behind the N.Y. Jets' 13. Miami only surrendered 31.0 sacks, good for fourth-fewest in the league. The Dolphins finished the 2023 season leading the NFL in total offense (401.3) and passing offense (265.5), and ranking second in scoring offense (29.2) and sixth in rushing offense (135.8).

The 2023 Dolphins offensive line also blocked for a rushing attack that broke the team record for rushing touchdowns in a season (27). For the first time in team history, the Dolphins had a 4,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. Barry coached left tackle Terron Armstead to the fifth career Pro Bowl selection of his career.

Barry was Denver's offensive line coach in 2022 where his unit helped block for a rushing attack that gained 1,935 yards. Despite being signed in October and only playing 12 games, running back Latavius Murray rushed for 760 yards, the most he's had in a season since 2017.

In 2021, Barry was San Francisco's assistant offensive line coach. He helped the 49ers advance to the NFC Championship game behind a balanced offensive attack. The offense was tied for 11th in the NFL with just 33 sacks allowed while the running game averaged 127.4 yards per game, which ranked seventh. San Francisco led the league in passing yards per play (8.21) and red zone touchdown percentage (66.7). Barry coached three offensive linemen to the Pro Bowl that season as tackle Trent Williams, guard Laken Tomlinson and center Alex Mack all earned selections. Williams also earned first-team All-Pro honors.

Barry was a senior analyst for Green Bay in 2020. The Packers won 13 games and advanced to the NFC Championship game behind NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, who passed for a career-high 48 touchdowns, and running back Aaron Jones, who rushed for 1,104 yards in just 14 games.

Barry spent the 2019 season as offensive line coach at the University of Miami, where his unit helped block for two 500-yard rushers and seven 300-yard receivers.

From 2015-18, Barry was the assistant offensive line coach for Tampa Bay, his first NFL coaching position. During his four seasons there, the Bucs had a top 10 total offense three times.

In Barry's first season with the Buccaneers, he helped newly acquired guard Logan Mankins reach the Pro Bowl in his first season with the team. Tampa Bay finished fifth in total offense (375.9) and rushing offense (135.1) that season. Running back Doug Martin was the NFL's second-leading rusher with 1,402 yards. The offense allowed just 27 sacks, tied for fourth-fewest in the league.

Tampa Bay won nine games in 2016, the organization's first winning season since 2010. The offensive line helped protect quarterback Jameis Winston, who passed for 4,090 yards, which is the second-highest total of Winston's career.

Barry helped an offensive line for the ninth-ranked offense in the NFL in 2017, when the Buccaneers averaged 363.5 yards per game. Tampa Bay was fourth in passing offense (272.9) and had five 500-yard receivers.

In Barry's final season in Tampa Bay in 2018, the Bucs led the league in passing (320.3) and were third in total offense (415.5) despite having multiple quarterbacks start at least seven games.

Barry spent five seasons (2010-14) at his alma mater, Central Michigan, where he coached offensive line (2014) and tight ends (2010-13). In his first season, the Chippewas ranked third in the Mid-American Conference, averaging 389.8 yards per game. They had top three passing offenses in the MAC in both 2010 and 2011. In 2011, tight end David Blackburn led all MAC tight ends with 479 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions.

Barry had several other college coaching positions. In 2009, he was the offensive coordinator/offensive line/recruiting coordinator for North Greenville University. He spent three seasons at Michigan Technological University, serving as offensive line coach (2006) and offensive coordinator/offensive line (2007-08). From 2004-05, Barry was the offensive line coach at Southwest Minnesota State. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan from 2002-03.

Barry was a three-year letterman and earned academic All-MAC honors in 2000 as an offensive lineman at Central Michigan. He and his wife, Andrea, have two daughters, Aislin and Bridget, and a son, Finn.
