The Facts: After having served as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator the past four seasons, Robert Saleh is quickly making the transition to his head-coaching post with the New York Jets. Saleh selected Jeff Ulbrich to coordinate his defense. Mike LaFleur, who served on the same coaching staff as Saleh in San Francisco, has been named the offensive coordinator.

Diehards Line:Ulbrich, who started last season as Atlanta's assistant head coach and linebackers coach, was promoted to defensive coordinator when Raheem Morris took over head-coaching duties in October and the unit played significantly better down the stretch. In six seasons as Atlanta's linebackers coach, Ulbrich mentored the likes of Deion Joens, De'Vondre Campbell and Foye Oluokun. Despite Saleh's background, Ulbrich will call plays on defense for the Jets. LaFleur's hiring had been previously reported but the Jets made it official today.
