On October 8, 2024, Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was named interim head coach of the Jets.
His 12 games as Jets head coach didn’t go as well as he hoped, going 3-9, but Ulbrich still has tremendous gratitude for the opportunity.
“I wanted to thank the Johnson family for the opportunity to be the head coach of the Jets even though it was an interim basis,” Ulbrich said earlier this week. “It was a great honor. One of the great honors of my football career.
“I want to thank this fanbase. It’s one of the great fanbases in this game; passionate, all in, and wish I could have done more for them.
“I want to thank the coaching staff in this building, the support staff, unbelievable in a very trying year, stayed the course and unwavering support at all times.
“Then finally want to thank these players because, amazing locker room in the face of real football adversity, they stayed together, they stayed the course. They finished in a way that they should all be proud of and for that, I’m forever grateful.”
And gratitude is a key to happiness in life.
