The decision to keep Ulbrich came two days after Stefanski was named as the replacement for fired coach Raheem Morris. Ulbrich carried the endorsement of Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who had said when Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot were fired that he would recommend but not mandate the new coach keep the defensive coordinator.

The Atlanta Falcons have hired Kevin Stefanski to become the 20th head coach in franchise history, the team announced Saturday.

The Buffalo Bills coaching job opening makes John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski's decisions feel a bit premature.

The Atlanta Falcons have officially named former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski as their next head coach, taking over at the helm of their football team after relieving Raheem Morris of his duties following an 8-9 season in 2025.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is expected to stay with the Falcons, while offensive line coach/run game coordinator Dwayne Ledford is expected to move on.
