In a move that reflects the Cleveland Browns' desire to tap into their past, they recently interviewed Ken Dorsey, a former Browns quarterback from 2006-2008, for their vacant offensive coordinator position. The news was confirmed by a league source and initially reported by Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports.

Ken Dorsey, who is 42 years old, was previously the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. However, he was fired in November by Bills head coach Sean McDermott after a turnover-marred loss to the Broncos, which led to the team's playoff hopes slipping away. At the time of his dismissal, the Bills had a record of 5-5, and their quarterback, Josh Allen, had thrown the most interceptions in the NFL with 11.

Following Dorsey's departure, Joe Brady, the second-year quarterbacks coach, took over and helped guide the Bills to a 6-1 record down the stretch. This impressive run included five consecutive victories and secured the Bills' divisional round playoff game against the Chiefs, which they will host today.

Dorsey's firing came after a loss to the Broncos, their fourth in six games. Allen's struggles continued in that game, as he committed three turnovers and the Bills' offense failed to score more than 26 points for the sixth consecutive game.

Dorsey had been the Bills' offensive coordinator for two seasons, having taken over when Brian Daboll left to become the head coach of the Giants. During his tenure, Dorsey helped lead the Bills to the playoffs each year, with their deepest run being the AFC Championship Game in 2020, where they narrowly lost to the Chiefs.

The Browns have been on the lookout for a new offensive coordinator following the departure of Alex Van Pelt. Ken Dorsey is now the second known candidate to be interviewed for the position, with former Browns assistant under Eric Mangini, Seahawks offensive line coach Andy Dickerson, being the first candidate.

The Browns are casting a wide net in their search for a new offensive coordinator, as they aim to bring in fresh ideas to complement their dual-threat quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who is expected to return in 2024 after recovering from shoulder surgery. Head coach Kevin Stefanski is open to relinquishing playcalling duties if he finds an experienced and trusted candidate for the role.

In addition to the offensive coordinator vacancy, the Browns have also made coaching changes in other positions, including firing running backs coach Stump Mitchell and parting ways with tight ends coach T.C. McCartney. The team is reportedly planning to make an offer to former Panthers and Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley for Mitchell's old job.

Browns' general manager Andrew Berry will address the coaching shakeup and other matters during his postseason press conference at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea on Monday at 11 a.m. Fans and analysts alike will be eager to hear Berry's insights into the team's plans for the upcoming season.
