OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens promoted inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr to defensive coordinator on Thursday, elevating one of their former star defenders and making history as a result.

Orr is the first former player to be named to a coordinator position in the Ravens' 28-year existence. In quickly replacing Mike Macdonald, who was hired as the Seattle Seahawks head coach on Wednesday, Orr is the Ravens' new defensive playcaller just seven years after being a second-team All-Pro inside linebacker for Baltimore.

"Zach is a homegrown Raven in every way," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
