My Take
What I admire most about Jeff Ulbrich is the arc of a grinder. He wasn't a glamorous prospect out of Hawaii, just a third-round, 86th-overall pick who gave the 49ers a decade of honest work at linebacker. To me, those are exactly the players who make the best coordinators: they know the trenches because they lived in them. His move into coaching, eventually running a defense as an NFL coordinator, feels earned rather than gifted. I trust defenses led by men who once had to scrap for every snap, and Ulbrich strikes me as that kind of credible, players-first football lifer.
