"Barry, whose offensive line has cleared the way for the Dolphins to average a league-leading 192.3 yards per game rushing since Week 10, is easy to describe. He yells until his face turns red, sticks to a vegan diet and wears a wide-brimmed straw hat on the practice field so he can't be hurt by the sun or melanoma, which he's battled a couple of times."
"I'm a little emotional because this game has given me a lot, Barry said. He explained he got into coaching to impact lives. To that end, ex-players will still call Barry, a father figure to many, on Father's Day and wish him a happy Father's Day. Relationships matter greatly to Barry. If you look at life in general, the connection you have with people is what's most important, he said."
