Zach Orr Named Ravens' New Defensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens promote inside linebackers coach Zach Orr to defensive coordinator, filling the void left by Mike Macdonald's departure.

  • Zach Orr, 31, takes over as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator after Mike Macdonald departs to become the Seattle Seahawks head coach.
  • Orr, a former Ravens linebacker, has rapidly ascended in his coaching career despite a congenital neck/spine condition ending his playing days.
  • Under Orr's recent guidance, the Ravens' defense ranked top in the league for sacks, takeaways, and points allowed per game.
  • The promotion makes Orr the first former Ravens player to be named as a coordinator in franchise history.
  • Questions arise about the future of other coaching staff members, as Orr's promotion bypasses potential candidates like Anthony Weaver.
