LOS ANGELES -- Joe Barry has turned down an offer to become the defensive coordinator at USC and has signed a new contract to remain the Los Angeles Rams' associate head coach and linebackers coach, a source told ESPN.
USC coach Clay Helton pursued Barry to fill a role that was vacated by Clancy Pendergast, who was fired following an 8-5 season and a 49-24 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl.
According to a source, Barry also was under consideration to fill the Rams' vacancy at defensive coordinator following coach Sean McVay's decision not to renew the contract of Wade Phillips.
