Jeff Ulbrich's journey in coaching began as a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, where he supported star player Patrick Willis. After a concussion ended his playing career, Ulbrich transitioned to coaching, finding inspiration from his time with Willis. Now the interim head coach of the New York Jets, he aims to revive the team's fortunes after a rocky start this season.

Ulbrich's coaching style is relatable, as noted by players like Isaiah Oliver, and he has already made significant changes, including demoting offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. With a focus on accountability, Ulbrich hopes to lead the Jets to success, beginning with a critical game against the Buffalo Bills.
