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!

The Falcons' quick hiring of Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator has sparked frustration among fans, who see it as yet another example of the team's lack of forward-thinking moves.
