Not the past year, but many have wanted him here as OC for years now. The excuse was no, he's only a QB coach

A lot of those fans wanted him not because of his resume at the time, but because "Miami Guy" nonsense. KD had never been a primary playcaller, and any time you give a guy that has never called plays that role, you are taking a risk. Has it worked out for KD? Heck yes and for that we should all be happy. That said, there were plenty of legitimate reasons why it didn't make sense to hire KD as an OC over the last decade or so. People forget that he was working as an admin for Butch at FIU, and it appeared that he may go that route long term.

KD is trending for something better than a college OC gig.

You guys act like he would have come here over the Bills OC job if offered

i'm so tired of hearing it too

even so, you don't let someone that has never called plays before come over here in the situation this team was just in. We might as well have ed reed coaching db's, ray lewis do LB's etc.

it was never gonna happen 1. because he was never gonna come here 2. he wasn't qualified in the first place no matter how good he might eventually be.

just wasn't happening dudes let it go already you don't bring a completely green play caller in this position and just roll the dice on it.

That’s a really bad analogy, friend.

Dorsey had extensive experience coaching elite QB’s for many years. He wasn’t my first choice, but he was definitely qualified.

All of that.

In addition to that, he got the nod for a pretty **** good offense. They were good last year and don't appear to be missing a beat this year.

I don't follow the NFL at all. I just wouldn't have taken a risk on a first time OC here. The Bills know him as he was there and felt it was a good risk to take. He knows the players and what they're good at. That's different than asking someone green to step in and right this ship.

I'm happy for the guy and know he'll work his *** off. He's a film junkie so he'll spend as much time as it takes to plan for his opponents. I hope he keeps seeing success, heck of a nice guy.
 
Who doesn’t get fired at some point in the nfl? he was there and responsible for Newtons best years and turned Allen into an MVP candidate before being a play caller at the highest level of football on earth.

Plus he was a video rat as a player and lasted in the nfl for years despite having the physical gifts of Paris Hilton.

Too much excellent experience with great results at the highest level on earth.

Nahhhh Bro, Dorsey got fired in 2018, Rhule didn't get hired unitl 2020. The calls by our fanbase for Dorsey to be our OC started around the time He got fired by Carolina.

Wait, you'd never let him come HERE because he had never called plays, but is killing it in the NFL after having never called any plays. That seems weird to me.

I don't think it was ever going to happen anyway, but IF it could have, it should have. I'd take him over JAGattis any day of the week. He knows how to work with a QB, and we have some on our roster.

Obviously, Dorsey was ready to call plays at a high level. He is not Ed Reed or Ray Lewis. He has been coaching now for years. That's a really big difference from simply being a former player.

To be perfectly Honest...KD was calling plays at UM....He had 100% backing from Coker & Chud, to Audible whenever he wanted....
 
He’s playing it smart. Stick with the mvp level qb and a great squad of players. Parlay that into a head coaching job down the road. He will always be a Miami hero regardless

You didn't know he would be killing it in the NFL, that's called hindsight. UM had one chance to get this right, if you wanna roll the dice on an absolutely green play caller coming to a premier div 1 program over say Joe Brady then we might as well have Jon right back as qb coach.

This is silly anyway at this point, he was never coming here.
