BILL CALLAHAN
Date of hire: Tuesday, Jan. 20
Previous role: Offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans (2024-25)
Current role: Offensive line coach for the Atlanta Falcons
Background: Callahan has an extensive coaching resume that spans more than four decades. He has spent more than 25 years in the NFL, primarily as an offensive line coach, where he's developed numerous Pro Bowlers and been widely regarded as one of the league's top teachers in the trenches. His resume highlights include stints with the then-Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. He has a large body of work in the college ranks as well, including a run as the head coach at Nebraska. Callahan reunites with Stefanski, whom he worked for from 2020–23 as the Cleveland Browns' offensive line coach.
JEFF ULBRICH
Date of hire: Monday, Jan. 19
Previous role: Defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons (2025)
Current role: Ulbrich was retained by Stefanski as the team's defensive coordinator
Background: Ulrbich led a defensive unit in Atlanta in 2025 that went from second-to-last in the league in sacks in 2024 to second overall in 2025. The group broke the single-season franchise sack record behind an attack-style defensive system that Ulbrich implemented in his first year as the team's defensive coordinator. This is Ulbrich's second stint with the Falcons after being part of Dan Quinn's staff from 2015-20.
