Following Brian Daboll‘s hiring in New York, another Bills coach will likely be getting a promotion. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Twitter), Bills passing-game coordinator and QB coach Ken Dorsey will likely earn a promotion to OC.
As Schefter notes, that opportunity could come from two places. Dorsey could easily slide in to the OC vacancy with the Bills, and ESPN’s Dan Graziano tweets his believe that Dorsey will ultimately get the job in Buffalo. However, as Lindsay Jones of The Athletic tweets, the Rooney Rule will require the organization to interview at least one minority candidate for the job, so Dorsey won’t be a shoo-in.
Alternatively, the coach could join Daboll in New York and become the Giants new OC. Dorsey worked alongside Daboll for three seasons in Buffalo.
Dorsey has been an NFL QBs coach since 2013. He spent five years with the Panthers before following the pipeline up north, joining his former bosses in Buffalo. Dorsey was with Carolina during the franchise’s most recent Super Bowl season, when Cam Newton soared to MVP honors in 2015. Since then, he’s raised his stock even further, taking Josh Allen from an inaccurate prospect to an MVP candidate.
Buffalo let’s bring him back.
Stay with the MVP candidate, Pro-Bowl and future HOF qb or go get saddled with Daniel a jones…? hmmmmmm
Help your pal Brian establish his system, make a good faith effort to coach up Jones, then, help select and train his first round replacement a year from now.
Or push for a Super Bowl in BUF and get HC opportunities in a year or two
I don’t understand why the Rooney Rule comes into play when a guy is getting promoted. The HC already knows the guy and wants him, but they have to make a minority sit through a sham interview. If I was a minority, I wouldn’t do it. It has to be embarrassing knowing they have no real chance at the job.
Bills need to keep him around. Imagine if the Bills lose three coach/front office people to the Giants!? Wild.
Go to the giants and look like a genius if they become an average offense. Stay in buffalo and have any drop be analyzed.
Ken was a neighbor and one of my best friends in middle and high school, we lost touch after, but man he’s a great dude.
I always knew that if his body/skills weren’t quite NFL caliber, he’d be an amazing coach. He had an incredible, like otherworldly understanding of how offenses worked, even at a young age.
I still think he could have been something if he’d been drafted to a team with a decent O-line, but I’m glad he’s finally getting recognized for the talent that he is!
Congrats Kenny!
(Stay in Buffalo for now buddy)
The Rooney rule is a joke. Just end it already.
Yes it is it’s a sham most people know its just too appease a ridiculous rule.
