FRESH Falcons Rumors: Atlanta NEEDS To Consider Jeff Ulbrich As Their Next Head Coach

Should [Music] Jeff Alrich be the next head coach for the Atlanta Falcons? It’s a very interesting narrative that I’ve seen a lot of Falcons fans have. In fact, majority of them are like, can we just make this guy the interim already, and that I’m all for. However, I will at least take a little bit of a step back here. I’m not saying I don’t want Jeff Albrich as the next head coach, but I’m wondering if that is kind of a rash decision. He needs to go through the head coaching process. He needs to go through the interview process. And the first things first here, he’s in a unique position. It’s kind of between a rock and a hard place. I still want him on the staff next year. No doubt about it. I think what he’s done with this pass rush has been excellent, but he might not be here next season. We’ve got to face that reality. There is a big time opportunity that Jeff Albrich will not be the defensive coordinator next year if Arthur Blank and Terry Fontau decide to clean house. If they get rid of the entire staff, we don’t see Jeff Albrich next year. And that won’t be because, you know, we don’t want him. That’ll just be because they’ll be starting fresh. Obviously, we have to wait until the very end of the season. So, we’ll find out. But one of the big reasons why I think Jeff Albrich from a on the- field X’s and O’s perspective can be the next head coach, and I’m not even talking about the leader of men yet. We’ll get to that in a little bit. Just the sacks. This is the biggest air area of the Atlanta Falcons that have needed to change all off season. We said, “God, we just need a pass rush. We’re one pass rush away.” Funny enough, we got the pass rush and then everything around us crumbled. It was just I you can’t make this kind of stuff up. But right now, the Falcons are currently in third in the NFL in sacks behind the Browns with Miles Garrett who’s having probably one of the greatest seasons we’ve ever seen from an edge rusher and the Denver Broncos who have an all-time pass rush. The Falcons are 10 behind that with a bunch of young players, two rookies. It’s going to be good for a long time. And also this this is also one of the things that like it’s not even a Jeff Albrich thing, but I just wanted to at least mention this about the Falcons the last couple of weeks. In the last five weeks, the Falcons have been unbelievable in the red zone and we’re one and five. So like what does that tell you? 92.9% success rate in the red zone in the last five weeks, which is number one in the NFL by a wide margin. So now you see the offense starting to play a little bit better with Kirk Cousins under center and the defense is doing its job nearly enough. So it’s a Raheem Morris problem. It is not a Jeff Albrich. I still think Zack Robinson’s a problem. But uh you know at this point I I’ve talked enough about Zack Robinson to just let you guys know that I don’t like him and I don’t want him on this team. But this is the more important stat that you need to know. The sack rate for the 2025 Atlanta Falcons is 11.4%. Not only is that one of the very best since the stat has been recorded, it’s the seventh best in the NFL since 2000, 25 years, 25 seasons. This is the seventh best sack rate, the 2025 Atlanta Falcons, led by two really stud rookies in James Pierce Jr. and Jaylen Walker. Did you know, by the way, James Pierce Jr. leads the entire rookies in the NFL in pressure rate? Jaylen Walker leads all rookies in sacks. And then just to throw his name in there a little bit because he’s a Notre Dame guy. Xavier Watts leads the all rookies in interceptions. This is a ridiculously talented Atlanta Falcons pass rush. It is a ridiculously talented Atlanta Falcons defense. The coaching, the offense, and the special teams have let this unit down. This unit, by the way, is led by Jeff Albrech. So, what do we know about him this season? Highest blitz rate of any defensive coordinator in the league. There’s no team that blitzes more than Jeff Albrich does, but he’s got these exotic blitz packages that reward aggressive hybrid players. How many times have you seen Billy Bowman Jr. come off on a quarter blitz and just absolutely smack the quarterback inside of the pocket too many times. This is such a unique defense. Now, the one area that I will say Jeff Albrich needs to get better at is scheming against the run, but that’s because a lot of his schemes allow that open like space concept where he just kind of brings people out wide and they have different angles of attack, meaning there’s not as much interior pressure to stop the run game. Well, you can fix that in the draft if you got more good run stoppers. I also think it’s important to know that this defense has bought in to Jeff Albrech. He’s been the bright spot of this year. Granted, there have been times like where you give up 300 plus yards to the Indianapolis Colts on the ground. That’s not good. Or Bryce Young tearing you apart like his name was Joe Montana. So Jeff Albrich isn’t perfect. But the Falcons at four and eight, I don’t think any single fan would sit here and go, “Alrich’s the problem.” No, he’s not. And going back to that two dynamic rookie situation, I just want to make sure you know, as rookies, these two dudes are killing it. Abdul Carter, remember everybody was talking about, oh, he’s the next Lawrence Taylor. Well, now he’s uh missing meetings, could be traded in the off season, and uh not living up to that third overall pick status. Whereas James Pierce Jr. and Jaylen Walker are only getting better. And that’s the exciting part. We’ve got two players that look like their future Pro Bowlers and will be on the same team and teammates for a long time, God willing. Here’s my ultimate take here. Do not lose what you prayed for. Don’t lose what you needed. Every single one of us said we are one pass rush away from being excellent. Well, we got the pass rush. We’re good. You know where we’re not good? Everywhere else. So, let’s fix that, shall we? Terry, looking at you. Blank looking at you. Raheem, Zack, get your asses out of town. Jeff, you can stay. You can stay. Would you give Jeff Albrich a chance at head coach? Yes or no? Like I said, I’m in a spot right now where I want to say I’d give him an interview. I’d walk him through the entire process. I’d walk him through everything and kind of be like, “What would this look like? What would your staff look like in the event that we did make you our next head coach?” And coming up, that’s what we’re going to try to answer. Can Jeff Albrich lead an entire team? Can he hire the right personnel to take over the offense? Can he do the right thing with special teams? And can he maintain this level of success with the defense? But more importantly, can he be a leader of men? We’re going to answer those questions coming up right after I tell you about our friends over at Prize Picks. Look, everything has changed. The weather has officially dropped. It’s winter now and all these different awesome stuff are going on at the exact same time. Basketball matchups are going on.

But Jeff went three and nine as the Jets head coach in 2024. So, it’s not like Jeff’s never done it before. He was the interim for the Jets after Robert Salah got fired. Two of those dudes, believe it or not, like I thought kind of, not that they got an unfair shake at everything, but the odds were stacked against them. They were coaching the Jets. It’s the Jets, man. They suck. But I’m very okay with Jeff Alrich’s, you know, leadership in those moments because if you go back to 2024 and you look at the Jet, the Jets problems, they were a dumpster fire. Aaron Rodgers is a media nightmare. Maybe not this year, but he’s also 41 years old and like this might be the last year of his career. The offensive line was absolutely terrible. Woody Johnson is an awful owner and they fired their GM mid-season. So, you had one massive bomb after the other. Actually, it kind of reminds me a little bit of the Falcons. But in case you were wondering, Moose, we know what we’ve seen on the field. What does Jeff Albrich look like as a leader of men? Does he have the spark that can light the fire underneath these guys’ asses to win football games? Well, I found one of the pregame speeches that he had in one of his last games as the Jets head coach. And here’s what he said. Get back to playing the game with each other and for each other. For the love of the game, celebrate the [ __ ] out of tonight. Enjoy this. [ __ ] the scoreboard. Tuck your chin. Keep swinging. that’ll take care of itself. No regrets. H kind of sounds like a leader to me. I don’t know about you, but that had more fire, more passion in that quote. Maybe I didn’t do it justice, but that quote itself had more fire and passion than anything I’ve ever seen Raheem say to this team. Ever. Ever. It’s crazy. So, we s we found the leader of men. We saw the X’s and O’s. What about the offense? Because as the head coach, you got to hire the right offensive coordinator. Well, I found four that you could hire that I think would all do a better job instantly than Zack Robinson, or should I say Zachary Robinson. Brian Dable, he’s now an available free agent. Declan Doyle, who believe it or not is no longer on the Broncos. He’s actually with the Chicago Bears. He’s Ben Johnson’s offensive coordinator. Davis Webb is the passing game coordinator for the Denver Broncos. And Jim Bob Cter over there in Indie who doesn’t call plays in Indianapolis. Shane Stiken does, but he is the offensive coordinator. The reason I bring up these four names is one, Brian Dable is going to look for another job somewhere. Declan Doyle will want a chance to call plays because Ben Johnson calls plays. Davis Webb is the passing game coordinator, so that would be an elevation for him. and Jim Bob Cter could be the type of guy that wants a chance to call plays as well. All that to say this, I think Albrech is going to get interviewed for the job. I think it would be a disservice from Arthur Blank and Terry Fontau to not interview Jeff Albrich. The players love him. He’s clearly shown that he’s made this defense better. He deserves a shot to at least interview for it. And if he doesn’t do well in the interview or there’s a more qualified candidate, fine. So be it. If that’s Brian Flores, if it’s Mike Tomlin, if it’s anybody, then that’s okay. But at least get the interview going for this guy. He absolutely deserves it. If you made it to the end of today’s video, do me a favor, hit that thumbs up icon. Do you support the offseason content that we’re making? Do you support Jeff Albrich? Do you support the Atlanta Falcons getting better in 2026? If so, hit that thumbs up icon right now. My name is Moose. Until next time, rise up and be cool. [Music]
