Veteran NFL defensive coordinator returning to Ravens as an advisor to Zach Orr

Zach Orr is a first-year defensive coordinator who has seen his secondary get shredded in the first five games.

With Baltimore at 3-2 and operating efficiently on offense, Orr has hired a veteran defensive coordinator and former Ravens assistant coach, Dean Pees, to serve as an advisor, according to Jeff Zrebiec.

Pees was the defensive coordinator in Baltimore from 2012 to 2017, and Orr was a star linebacker during that run.

Pees announced his retirement after the 2018 season. He then spent two seasons under Mike Vrabel with the Titans. In 2021, he unretired again to become the Falcons’ defensive coordinator. He retired again in January 2023.
