Ken Dorsey – Former Offensive Coordinator, Buffalo Bills

Dorsey was dismissed in November, following the Bills’ Week 10 defeat to the Broncos. He was in his second year as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator. Sean McDermott had elevated him from passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach to take over for Brian Daboll, who had become head coach of the Giants.

Buffalo’s offense finished second in points and second in total yards in 2022.

Dorsey started as a pro scout for the Panthers and was their quarterbacks coach from 2013-2017.

Dorsey, 42, played with the Browns from 2006 to 2008. In 2008, he made three starts for the club and finished 0-3.

Offensive Coordinator Candidates

Darell Bevell – Quarterbacks coach/Passing game coordinator, Miami Dolphins

Bevell was the Offensive Coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings from 2006-2010, where he coached with Stefanski. In 2009, his Vikings offense finished fifth in yards and second in scoring.

Bevell was the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks from 2011-2017 and won the Super Bowl in 2013.

Bevell has worked with Brett Favre, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, Trevor Lawrence, and Tua Tagovailoa.

Under coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins boast the best passing offense and the second-highest scoring offense in 2024.

Brian Johnson – Offensive Coordinator, Philadelphia Eagles

Johnson was interviewed by the Browns recently and is in consideration for the role. Johnson has been around Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen in his previous roles with the Eagles both as coordinator and quarterbacks coach the two seasons before that. He has extensive work with Jalen Hurts in helping him turn into an All-Pro caliber quarterback.

He was a scapegoat for an offense that struggled in 2023 largely due to Sirianni’s overwhelming input on the offense and a lack of pro-snap diversity in quarterback choice and motion.

It is possible Johnson was interviewing for the quarterbacks coach role as well.

Tim Kelly – Offensive Coordinator, Tennessee Titans

Kelly has been the Titans offensive coordinator for two seasons, but with Head Coach Mike Vrabel being fired after the season, Kelly will likely be on the job market as well. Typically, a newly hired Head Coach wants to bring in his own staff.

Kelly is intriguing because he was the offensive coordinator when Deshaun Watson played his best season in the NFL.

He was with the Texans from 2014-2021 and was the offensive coordinator for three seasons, 2019-2021. Two of those seasons were with Watson as his quarterback. Watson’s success in Kelly’s offense makes him a potential candidate for Stefanksi.
