I was also confused when I saw this post...

My money is on Jeff Ulbrich as DC.

That would be awesome.

Why would we want him? Jets defense has been bad after Saleh got canned and he was put in charge of everything. Am I missing something lol

yeah jk but his answer in the interview didn't sound like he's all in on NS

he was like that when asked about Wilks also.

everyone is frustrated. Hopefully we can get someone that everyone would be excited about

I kinda hope NS and Staley hit the road, but I don't know who would be available, be a good fit, deal with Shanny / Lynch, etc

yeah i don't know who either.. nobody right now brings any hope.

They were interested in Ulbrich before, and he's a fan of Shanny. He'll be available if they still want him

They didn't suck on D when that's all he was focused on. Obviously, he got thrown to the wolves as interim and was very much overwhelmed. He's nowhere near ready to coach an entire team and plus who the F wants to coach Aaron 'Naked and Afraid' Rodgers

Would Kyle let him run his defense or make him run the defense Kyle wants? I don't think anyone of value is coming here to be told what type of defense they have to run.

Gym Shorts is the Wide 9 guru and he and Kocurek have a very good relationship already so I don't see it being an issue.

i will only accept Jim is if Miles garret comes with

Very reasonable request.

I think he 100% gets the axe. But hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

Sorenson was put in a tough spot. Inexperienced coach being asked to be a DC on a team with SB aspirations. Feel bad for the guy even though we don't know anything about him personally.

There were a few games where the offense let the defense down as well. Just a team that didn't play complementary football and everyone looks bad in that scenario.

While I'm not exactly on Ulbrich train I wouldn't hold that against him and I do understand some of the pros in hiring him.

He has experience and more importantly experience under Saleh so you could insert him in the position without severe growing pains like we're seeing with Sorensen.

There is a chance he could bring some Jets staff over and they could be upgrades over our current staff.

It's hard to imagine him running the defense any worse than Sorensen so he'd likely be an automatic upgrade at least.

However I still hope in the remote chance Shanahan hits the reset button on the defense and go in a different direction. The current scheme is just way too talent dependent to work at a high level and right now the more effective defenses are the ones that stress offenses mentally not physically.

I think most of us loved him when he was here, and died a little inside when he retired early. Outside of that he is a direct connection to a guy that actually had this defense working.

Personally I really wish we would stop shedding coaching continuity. At this point I wish we would get a fundamentals guy to act as a defensive CEO.

No first time DCs, we need to bring in someone with experience, rather that is college or the NFL.

Somebody on here mentioned firing Brian Schneider and moving Sorensen over to ST coach since he has experience there. Then hire a new DC.

I wouldn't hate it tbh.

That was Matt barrows I believe that said that

Barrows suggested it. I suspect he wasn't serious.

could be another option. I know bengals D weren't very good this year, but he has had some good units in the past

The Bengals have fired DC Lou Anarumo, per source.

Anarumo, who has held the position since 2019, oversaw a defense that finished in the bottom half of the league in yards and points per game allowed. pic.twitter.com/3bQ3d5iGwO

He was pretty awesome for a few years. I would take him any day.
