It might not have ended well with the Buffalo Bills but Ken Dorsey has had a lot of success when working with NFL quarterbacks. That’s likely the reason he wound up being the Cleveland Browns selection to replace Alex Van Pelt.
After spending the past four seasons with Cleveland, Van Pelt was dismissed in a flurry of coaching moves. He left with no will ill and the Browns set out to find someone they believed could help get Deshaun Watson back on track.
Dorsey ended up being the choice after they kicked the tires on Brian Johnson, Jerrod Johnson, and Kellen Moore — who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Even with all the names coming through, it always seemed as though Dorsey was the one they had their sights set on.
Dorsey was with the Buffalo Bills from 2019 until Nov. of 2023. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2022 but found himself being let go due in large part to a flurry of interceptions from Josh Allen. That was his first crack as an OC and before that, he served as a quarterback coach in Buffalo as well as with the Carolina Panther
Signed to Carolina in 2013, Dorsey was instrumental in helping Cam Newton turn into one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. By their third season together, Newton won the NFL MVP award as they went 15-1 and made it to the Super Bowl.
