Coaching career

Baltimore Ravens

On August 30, 2017, Orr began his coaching career and was hired by the Baltimore Ravens as a defensive analyst under head coach John Harbaugh. This came 12 days after announcing his second retirement.[1]

Jacksonville Jaguars

On February 11, 2021, Orr was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars as their outside linebackers coach under head coach Urban Meyer.[2]

Baltimore Ravens (second stint)

On February 23, 2022, Orr was hired by the Baltimore Ravens as their inside linebackers coach under head coach John Harbaugh.[3]

On February 1, 2024, Orr was promoted to defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, replacing Mike Macdonald after his departure to become the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.[4]

Personal life

Orr is the son of former Washington Redskins tight end Terry Orr. He has three brothers, all of whom have played college football: older brother Terrance, who played at Texas State, younger brother Nick, who played at TCU (and is currently a free agent) and youngest brother Chris, who currently plays for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League (USFL).[5]

Orr was born with a rare spinal condition where his C-1 vertebrae, the one located at the top of his neck below his skull, was not fully developed. It was revealed that if Orr took a bad hit, the C-1 could explode and may result in death. This promptly forced Orr to retire from professional football after his third season, coming off a breakout season where he led the Ravens in tackles and earned second-team All-Pro in 2016.[6]
