Browns Source Discloses Reasons Behind Ken Dorsey’s Dismissal from Buffalo.
Despite swiftly ascending the coaching hierarchy in Buffalo and appearing to have a promising future there, Ken Dorsey, the former Bills offensive coordinator, was dismissed midway through the recent season. Nevertheless, following the season’s conclusion, he garnered significant interest from various teams, ultimately joining the Cleveland Browns shortly after they parted ways with their OC, Alex Van Pelt.
Although the Bills offense encountered difficulties, leading to Dorsey’s dismissal after a 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos, it’s worth noting that his quarterback was leading the league in touchdown passes at the time, and their offense was among the most formidable in the NFL.
Insight from Browns insider Noah Weiskopf suggests that Dorsey’s departure from Buffalo might not entirely be attributed to his shortcomings. According to Weiskopf’s source, Buffalo’s offensive inconsistency, wherein they could dominate one week and struggle the next against weaker defenses, was a significant factor. Despite various potential issues contributing to this inconsistency, Dorsey bore the brunt of the blame as the offensive coordinator and play caller.
Buffalo eventually finished the season strongly, securing a playoff berth, akin to their performance under Dorsey’s leadership in his first year. While some may deem Dorsey’s departure from Buffalo premature, his move to Cleveland is viewed as a positive development by the Browns, who eagerly anticipate his impact on their offense.
