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.

He should try to go back to where he grew up and try to hitch his wagon to Shannahan for a couple years

I’ve got Bills season tickets, it was always a struggle with Dorsey as the OC, like nothing would come easy to the offense compared to Daboll or now with Brady.

He can game plan and is a solid coach, but after the first drive stript is over, it’s rough.

Well if he can get the plays called in on time, he's already better than Mike McDaniel, lol

After 6 games??? Not 2 or 3?

You must be in a generous mood.

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

We should have fired Gattis week 5 during the bye week. Ponce could have gotten more out of that team, I said it then and I still stand by that.

I won't argue with that. Not extremely different than this season on the D side.

Biggest difference is we didn't really have a qualified number 2 after Guidry failed. I wonder, if we did, when would have been the right time to make that move in hindsight. D was an issue for most of the year, but we kept winning and its hard to upset that apple cart

Agreed. There was a similar reference made early in the season with Napier -- ie: if you fire him, who on staff is there to step in, may as well let him try to figure it out.

Every person who plays football and coaches it is going to be competitive. Its not a barameter for success

100% untrue to the 1000000% degree. I can tell you with certainty having sat in on meetings in the SEC and the Big10 this is not true at all.

Let me rephrase, some people think they are competitive, and then there are guys that are competitive.

My personal philosophy is always try to win. The wins are paramount and they are worth every penny. You shouldn't fire someone during the season if it will cost you even 1 win.

Agree to disagree. Being competitive is no indiator of sucess especailly when it comes to playcalling which Dorsey is not good at
