The New York Jets interviewed interim coach Jeff Ulbrich for their head coach vacancy. Ulbrich was the team’s defensive coordinator the past four seasons and went 3-9 after replacing the fired Robert Saleh on Oct.

Jeff Ulbrich has gotten the conversation he said he was expecting to get. The New York Jets have announced that Ulbrich has received an interview regarding the team's vacant head coach position. The discussion took place on Monday.

The Jets formally interviewed Ulbrich for their opening. Ulbrich was thrown into the role of interim head coach on Oct. 8 after Robert Saleh was fired. The Jets went 3-9 under Ulbrich and finished 5-12 overall. Ulbrich is very popular among the players and in the Jets’ building, but he is considered a long shot to keep the job.

While Ulbrich was tasked with running the defense while also adding head coach duties, the Jets stumbled under his leadership in several different ways. New York went 3-9 with Ulbrich as the interim head coach and finished a once-promising season at a disastrous 5-12 mark.

Former head coach Robert Saleh was fired by the team all the way back in October. At the time, New York had a 2-3 record. After turning things over to interim Jeff Ulbrich, it didn’t go much better. The Jets finished the 2024 NFL season at 5-12.

The Jets have cast a wide net in their search for a new head coach and the list expanded to include an in-house candidate on Monday.

During his post-practice media availability Friday, Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said he believes he will have “an opportunity” to interview with owner Woody Johnson and his advisers for the head-coaching position. “I think next week I’ll be given an opportunity at some point,” Ulbrich said. “And for sure, I look forward to that.”

The Jets and the Las Vegas Raiders are the only NFL teams looking to fill general manager and head coach vacancies this offseason. The Green & White are one of six clubs (Raiders, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints) searching for a head coach.

On Oct. 8, after Jets owner Woody Johnson fired Robert Saleh following a 2-3 start, Ulbrich, who was the defensive coordinator, became the team’s interim coach. Johnson hoped Ulbrich would ignite a spark and lead Gang Green to the playoffs. However, Saleh’s firing had the opposite effect.
