Regrets, he has a few.
Jeff Ulbrich revealed Monday some of the things that went wrong during his 12-game stint as the Jets’ interim head coach following the firing of Robert Saleh.
Ulbrich joined the Falcons as their new defensive coordinator after he held the same position with the Jets, who went 3-9 with Ulbrich as an interim coach.
The 47-year-old said a “lack of truth” was one of the biggest issues he experienced as the Jets spiraled.
“I learned even more than I knew the value of truth-tellers on your staff,” Ulbrich said.
“There’s certain things that need to be told to the head coach that are occurring because a lot of times what I found in that interim role was, although it was interim, it was like I felt the shift in the way people talked to me and treated me and what they said to me and the lack of truth sometimes was really detrimental, you know?

The pity is, at this point, the greatness we are watching in real time is threatened every week to be reduced to a footnote. We are witnesses to history, to the rarest form of extended success in a time of professional sport that’s supposed to be ruled by parity. But every year we have to deal with something else first.
