"Jeff Ulbrich is a top DC candidate and there is plenty of interest already for him to interview elsewhere. https://t.co/tIgRWl1ISd- Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 8, 2026 Ulbrich was the linebackers coach on Quinn's staff from 2015 to 2020 and returned there this past season under Morris. Between his Atlanta stints, he served as the New York Jets' defensive coordinator from 2021 to 2024 and even coached 12 games as their interim head coach."
"His defenses have had mostly positive results. Between 2022 and 2024, the Jets ranked in the top five in fewest yards allowed every year. Ulbrich's units have also ranked in the top 10 in takeaways twice, in 2022 and this past season. Ulbrich has also showcased a strong knack for player development. He took over a unit in East Rutherford that was the worst in the league in both yards and points allowed his first season at the helm,"
The Washington Commanders are searching for new offensive and defensive coordinators. The offensive coordinator market shifted after the Miami Dolphins fired Mike McDaniel. The Commanders have requested to interview Raiders coordinator Patrick Graham on defense. Atlanta's coaching staff turnover frees assistants to pursue other jobs, making Raheem Morris and Jeff Ulbrich viable candidates. Ulbrich coached linebackers on Dan Quinn's staff from 2015–2020, returned under Morris, served as the New York Jets' defensive coordinator from 2021–2024, and acted as interim head coach for 12 games. Ulbrich's units improved significantly, ranking among the league's best in yards allowed and takeaways.
