Jeff Ulbrich means business.
That doesn’t mean some of his players weren’t going to have fun with him as his first days being the head coach of the New York Jets unfolded.
The defensive coordinator was named the interim after the team sacked Robert Saleh last week. Star defensive back Sauce Gardner revealed that players were keeping the mood light during Ulbrich’s first days in charge, poking fun at him following the promotion.
“We was joking with him a little bit,” Gardner said. “‘Oh, you become the head coach, you actin’ different.'”
Gardner’s full thought can be found in the clip below:
