The ex-defensive coordinator, however, wasn\u2019t able to bring in the results with an MVP quarterback either, albeit it might have been early to make such an assumption. However, considering Ulbrich was also a DC, it would be interesting to see the new developments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relatedFS\">\n<h2 id=\"h-robert-saleh-issues-heartfelt-message-after-controversial-sacking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robert Saleh issues heartfelt message after controversial sacking<\/h2>\n<p>The Green and White firing of Robert Saleh came as a blindside to many including the man himself.
