Former Ravens Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees Rejoins Team as Senior Advisor During Defensive Challenges

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024

Baltimore Ravens’ new defensive coordinator, Zach Orr, is benefiting from the guidance of former coach Dean Pees.

At 75 years old, Pees has been engaged as a senior adviser to help improve the struggling Ravens defense.

Previously, Pees held the position of defensive coordinator for the Ravens from 2012 to 2017 and coached Orr when he was a player for three seasons.

Under Orr's management, the Ravens are currently positioned 26th in points allowed and 31st in pass defense, marking the second-highest total of points conceded by the team in the season's first five weeks, surpassed only by the 2015 team.

Pees possesses a wealth of experience as a defensive coordinator, having contributed to four teams, including his stints with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons.

The Ravens, holding a 3-2 record, are scheduled to compete against the Washington Commanders, who are leading the NFL in scoring with their 4-1 record, in the upcoming game.
