The Atlanta Falcons announced that Ulbrich has accepted an offer to become their new defensive coordinator. That was the position Ulbrich worked in New York prior to also picking up interim head coach duties: We have named Jeff Ulbrich as Defensive Coordinator!

It is a return to Atlanta for Ulbrich. He was the Falcons’ linebackers coach there from 2015-20, then interim defensive coordinator in 2020 after Dan Quinn was fired as head coach and current Falcons coach Raheem Morris was the interim coach.

The New York Jets gave Jeff Ulbrich an opportunity to run the team for the final three months of the 2024 regular season. While things didn't go exactly as expected, the interim head coach has found a new home away from Florham Park...and a familiar place for him in fact.
