The Indianapolis Colts are searching for a defensive coordinator after parting ways with Gus Bradley. Guys like Steve Wilks, Robert Saleh, and Dennis Allen are ideal candidates for the job.

Saleh may not be the leading candidate for any of them, but if he were to land one, the 49ers would be back at square one. The 49ers parted ways with Nick Sorensen at the end of the regular season.

The way things look, it is shaping up that the Colts will have their top choice when it comes to filling the defensive coordinator role.

Following a lengthy search, the Atlanta Falcons hired Jeff Ulbrich for their defensive coordinator vacancy on Saturday evening. The interim head coach of the New York Jets returns to Atlanta where he spent six seasons as a linebackers coach (2015-2020) and one year as interim defensive coordinator.

Ulbrich, who spent much of last season as the New York Jets' interim coach, takes over a defense that earned criticism from first-year coach Raheem Morris.

The Atlanta Falcons have hired former assistant Jeff Ulbrich, who spent the past four years with the New York Jets, as defensive coordinator.

The Atlanta Falcons have hired former New York Jets defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich as their defensive coordinator, the team announced Saturday night.

The Atlanta Falcons have found their new defensive coordinator, officially hiring Jeff Ulbrich on Saturday evening. The team interviewed seven candidates for its coaching vacancy but opted for the familiar face.

ATLANTA — The Falcons brought Jeff Ulbrich back to Atlanta, naming their former assistant as defensive coordinator on Saturday night.

Will he stay or will he go? Flores potentially getting a head-coaching job could change the trajectory of Minnesota's future on defense.

The Atlanta Falcons are taking their time putting together a coaching staff for 2025. The team must fill two positions after dismissing defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake and defensive line coach Jay Rodgers last week.
