Ken Dorsey Relieved of Coaching Duties

Hurricane great Ken Dorsey was fired yesterday after one season as offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. The Browns ranked 28th out of 32 in total offense this season.

Twenty-four months ago, Ken Dorsey seemed on a fast track to becoming a head coach in the NFL. In 2022, Dorsey was offensive coordinator for a successful Buffalo offense following Brian Daboll's departure to the Giants. In 2023, the Bills sputtered to a 5-5 start and he was fired after ten games.

Dorsey was the Hurricanes' quarterback for the 2001 national champions. The first team All-American spent six seasons as a player in the NFL with the 49ers and Browns.

Dorsey has been fired from 2 NFL OC jobs. At some point he needs to convince people he is actually good at this. I don’t see another NFL team taking a chance on him for a few years. College would be where he can resurrect his career. Not to mention that the money in college is more comparable to the NFL than ever.

Good point but we’ve seen coaches bounce around the nfl

They do love their retreads in the NFL. Speaking of which, let’s see if the Jets hire Rex Ryan again. I’m sure that will work

You mean to say that owners who cheated their own customers at Flying J aren’t good owners?
The same people who got rid of Baker Mayfield to bring in the freak Deshaun Watson, who, like Sampson and his hair, apparently can’t play QB unless he gets his happy ending massages. And not by going to massage parlors that basically advertise happy endings mind you.

If it wasn’t for Woody Johnson letting his teenage sons make decisions for the Jets, the Haslems would be unquestionably the worst owners in the NFL. Right now they are in a 2 owner race to the bottom.

Haslem is worse. He let a homeless man pick their QB

Steven Ross need you to hold his beer. He just doubled down on McDaniel and GM Greer. While Tyreek smartly decides to bounce

Setting up for a clean transition after Dawson isn't a bad idea.

I don't care what any of you asshats say. Bring Ken back to be our QB coach. Has nothing to do with Miami Bros and everything to do with his qualifications and obvious ties to the program. Get it done!

When Buffalo fired him they had the #3 offense. The problem was Josh Allen's TOs. Everyone goes to die in Cleveland.

he should never have taken that job, it was a recipe for failure and now he´s tainted as an OC that has been fired TWICE in TWO years.

gatorsSUCK!

If he can apply how he kept his offense from scoring to keeping our opponent’s offenses from scorning, he’d be a great DC for us.

Stop with the lies. It was Dorsey’s play calling that was the biggest issue.

He’s just not good at it

If you cared about Ken Dorsey, you would never want him to coach here. CIS will light up with vitriol after his first L and never stop from there. "WTF is this Vanilla play calling??" and "He's a Miami Bro! Bro Style, Bro!" "No more Miami Bros!" and justified by people claiming he gets paid too much to make mistakes.

Worked very well from Gattis to Ponce, when we discussed this concept with joy (no, not that Joy) in 2021-2022.
