Raheem Morris named Jeff Ulbrich as his defensive coordinator when Morris became the interim head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. On Saturday, Morris, back in another stint with the Falcons, tabbed Ulbrich as his defensive coordinator yet again.

Following a lengthy search, the Atlanta Falcons hired Jeff Ulbrich for their defensive coordinator vacancy on Saturday evening. The interim head coach of the New York Jets returns to Atlanta where he spent six seasons as a linebackers coach (2015-2020) and one year as interim defensive coordinator.

In January 2025, former New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich was hired as the team’s defensive coordinator after working in that same role in an interim capacity with Morris after Quinn’s firing.
