The hiring of Jeff Ulbrich is not exactly being received with glee, an understandable thing when you’re bringing back the interim defensive coordinator from a forgettable 2020 season to join Raheem Morris, who was the interim head coach during that forgettable 2020 season and who is fresh off an 8-9 2024 campaign. That’s a long, run-on sentence, but there’s a lot going on there that isn’t exactly delightful on paper for Atlanta Falcons fans wary of the same old stuff.
The Falcons can make sure we forget about our initial reactions if they can actually get this defense to improve considerably.
