Jets interim HC Jeff Ulbrich: We’ll take a “hard look” at everything on offense.

The Jets made a change at head coach on Tuesday and more changes could be coming on the offensive side of the ball.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was named interim head coach when Robert Saleh was fired Tuesday morning and said at his first news conference that “everything will be assessed” when it comes to the offense’s operations. That includes whether offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett will continue to call offensive plays.

Ulbrich said he doesn’t expect to let other coaches go, but it appears some changes are in store for a unit that has been disappointing through the first five weeks of the season.

“We’re going to dig into that in depth over the next 36 hours and see every possibility” said Ulbrich. “I don’t see any changes in necessarily titles and positions. As for the responsibilities and the process itself, we will look at that carefully.”

SNY’s Connor Hughes reports that Saleh was to plan passing game coordinator Todd Downing the playcaller this week, so that could be an option for Ulbrich as he heads into his first game in the top job.
