Raheem Morris named Jeff Ulbrich as his defensive coordinator when Morris became Atlanta Falcons interim head coach in 2020.
On Saturday, Morris, back in another stint with the Falcons, tabbed Ulbrich as his defensive coordinator yet again. He replaces Jimmy Lake, who was fired on Jan. 11 after just one season with the team.
Ulbrich, 47, had most recently been the interim head coach of the New York Jets. He took over after the firing of Robert Saleh on Oct. 8. The Jets went 3-9 after the move. Ulbrich had been the Jets defensive coordinator going back to 2021.
Under Ulbrich, the Jets defense was top five in defensive EPA in 2022 and 2023.
