The Atlanta Falcons officially introduced their new defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, on Monday morning. The 47-year-old coach was welcomed with a press conference where the media had the chance to ask questions and get to know the newest addition to the Falcons' coaching staff.

Potential 49ers defensive coordinator candidate Jeff Ulbrich was hired by the Atlanta Falcons for the same role.

The San Francisco 49ers’ list of potential defensive coordinator candidates appears to be short, and it got shorter Saturday when NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported the Atlanta Falcons were set to hire Jeff Ulbrich as their new defensive coordinator.

After interviewing for the head coaching job last week, Ulbrich didn't want to wait to be told no by New York.

The San Francisco 49ers search for a new defensive coordinator has not necessarily gotten off the ground. Robert Saleh is seen as the top candidate.

Saleh, who was fired in October as the New York Jets head coach five games into his fourth season, generated interest on the head-coaching front and was seen as one of the frontrunners for the Jacksonville Jaguars job. He also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.

The Atlanta Falcons conducted a virtual interview with New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich for their vacant defensive coordinator position on Wednesday. Ulbrich, who also was defensive coordinator,
