In the world of professional football, it is not uncommon for talented coaches to quickly find new opportunities after being let go from their previous positions. This was the case for Ken Dorsey, who recently landed a new job following his departure from the Buffalo Bills. While his firing may have come as a surprise to some, the Bills’ offense saw significant improvement under the guidance of Joe Brady, their new offensive coordinator. Despite the circumstances, Dorsey has chosen to move forward and embrace the next chapter of his career in Cleveland (as reported by Jake Trotter). Dorsey expressed his excitement for this fresh start, stating, “The head coach decided to make a change. That’s something I’ve put behind me. I’m thrilled to be here in Cleveland.”
In his new role, Dorsey will be taking over as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns, replacing Alex Van Pelt. This pairing has the potential to be a perfect match for the team. Dorsey is known for his innovative and creative approach to play design, particularly when working with talented quarterbacks who possess both strength and mobility. While play-calling may not be his strongest suit, his collaboration with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who is determined to retain those responsibilities, is expected to be seamless.
Dorsey will face the challenge of working with Deshaun Watson, who has struggled to make a significant impact since joining the Browns, despite his lucrative $230 million contract. However, Dorsey’s track record speaks for itself. He played a crucial role in guiding Cam Newton to his best season, which included winning the MVP award and reaching the Super Bowl. Additionally, he helped transform Josh Allen into a consistent contender for the MVP title. With this in mind, Browns fans have every reason to be excited about the arrival of their new offensive architect.
