FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Jeff Ulbrich entered the press room Monday and shook hands with every member of the assembled media. In some cases, it wasn't so much of an introduction as a reconnection with some familiar faces.
Ulbrich, the former New York Jets interim head coach, was introduced as the defensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. Before the Jets, Ulbrich coached with the Falcons from 2015 to 2020 as the linebackers coach, assistant head coach and interim defensive coordinator.
"It's coming home for me," Ulbrich said.
Ulbrich worked in Atlanta under then-head coach Dan Quinn.
