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.

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.

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.
