Orchard Park, NY (WBEN) A few days after Brian Daboll took off for New Jersey, the Bills have promoted Ken Dorsey to offensive coordinator. Dorsey had been the quarterbacks coach.
Dorsey had been the passing game coordinator since 2019. The Bills say he has been instrumental in Josh Allen's development in a Bills uniform. "I think when he got here three years ago, my career definitely changed in terms of how I viewed the game of football," says Allen of Dorsey. "Just having a guy in the quarterback room that played the game, was the winningest college quarterback of all time. He was 38-2. He'll never let me forget that. He says it all the time, but just the way he approaches the game. He's competitive. He's smart. He works his a** off. I appreciate what he's done for me over the course of my career so far."
In his first year with Allen, Dorsey helped the quarterback improve his passer rating by more than 17 points (17.4), the biggest improvement in the league in 2019.
Buffalo's offense each of the last two seasons has finished in the top three in scoring, top 10 in passing, top three in third down conversion rate and top five in total offense. It's widely anticipated that Dorsey will keep the vast majority of Buffalo's offensive scheme intact going forward.
Prior to a brief stint as Assistant Athletic Director at Florida International and offensive assistant at Appalachian State (2018), Dorsey served five seasons as quarterbacks coach with the Carolina Panthers (2013-17).
There he helped QB Cam Newton lift his game to league MVP and Offensive Player of the Year heights in 2015 as the Panthers won the NFC title.
Daboll accepted the Giants head coaching post last week.
