The Seattle Seahawks would like to interview Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey as they continue their search for a new offensive coordinator, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning on Twitter. In a tweet, Schefter added that the Seahawks have spoken with Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator Shane Waldron and New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi .
On the original site, many were saying that even in the Golden era that Dorsey needed to serve as a GA at Miami if he ever wanted to come back just because he was young… even though he was Cam Newton’s QB Coach during his MVP year. Now Miami couldn’t pay him enough and folks are wondering why he would be a viable candidate in the event of Manny Diaz’s firing in a year or two.
The man has been on top of things for years now and Miami fans need to wake up. They could have been on this train since day one.
Let him be an OC before crowning him. He is working the natural order of coaching. A QB coach is not the same as a HC for a major college football program.
Nobody’s crowning him omaha… but a guy can predict a trajectory. It’s now becoming a pattern. He’s worked for two NFL franchises as a QB coach and both of those players, Cam Newton and Josh Allen, are MVP QB’s or will be an MVP QB under his tutilege. Daboll is big reason too, I’m not taking anything away from the great culture they’ve built in Buffalo as a staff.
But Dorsey has found a way to stick in the NFL for 6 seasons despite a comically weak arm. He went from calling plays for Sarasota Riverview to tutoring an NFL MVP QB to a Super Bowl appearance in 4 years. Five years later, he was on that doorstep with a different franchise and a QB who no one thought was worth the pick used to take him.
Within 5 years, he’ll be in the hunt for an NFL coaching job. Within 2-3, if Manny can’t do the job, his name will be white hot in association with the HC job at UM. Book it.
Supposedly several NFL teams are interested in interviewing him this off-season for an OC position even though he never called games before. If he is good enough for them, he is good enough for me…
If Dorsey goes elsewhere and does well his next stop is either in the NFL or as a HC somewhere. No way he comes here in a few years as a seasoned OC unless he was mediocre or bummed elsewhere (and then we might pass…)
