49ers writer eyeing Jets' Jeff Ulbrich for DC is simply unreasonable

The NY Jets, under the leadership of Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich, boast an exceptional defense, featuring one of the league’s best secondaries and a deep defensive line.

Ulbrich’s star status as a star assistant at the Senior Bowl has grown, and if the Jets can maintain Aaron Rodgers’ defensive excellence, he could potentially receive head coach interviews.

The San Francisco 49ers, after losing Saleh and Ryans, must decide their next direction after leaving Steve Wilks. Some speculate John Lynch will attempt to steal Ulbrich.

Tim Kawakami predicts Ulbrich and Indianapolis Colts coordinator Gus Bradley as the most realistic candidates for the 49ers’ DC job, citing Ulbrich’s 49ers experience and organizational connections.
