1 day agoCowboys Nearing Zach Orr Hire
Zach Orr is expected to join the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff as an elevated linebackers coach despite not being hired as defensive coordinator.
Orr, 33, succeeded Mike Macdonald as the Ravens' defensive coordinator in 2024. The unit regressed at the beginning of his debut season, but moving Kyle Hamilton back to a traditional safety role and inserting Ar'Darius Washington into the starting lineup stabilized the secondary. This past season, Baltimore's defense had another rough start with an especially weak pass rush. Another round of midseason adjustments - including trades for Alohi Gilman and Dre'Mont Jones - yielded some results, but they did not last through the end of the season.
