Report: Buffalo Bills linked to former Miami Hurricanes star as possible Offensive coordinator

As news breaks that Buffalo Bills instate rival the New York Giants plan on hiring their offensive coordinator as New York’s new head coach, one can’t help but wonder what the Bills will do next. Well according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Buffalo has a backup plan already in mind and that person is already with the organization.

Buffalo will likely turn to their passing game coordinator and quarterback coach Ken Dorsey as their new offensive coordinator.

“A beneficiary of Brian Daboll’s departure, Buffalo’s passing-game coordinator and QB coach Ken Dorsey is likely to become an offensive coordinator either with the Bills or Giants, per sources,” wrote Schefter on Twitter.

If you are a fan of college football, the name, Ken Dorsey will definitely ring a bell or two. He was the starting quarterback for the 2001 BCS national championships Miami Hurricanes. That 2001 Hurricane squad is viewed as one of the best college football teams of all time.

Dorsey had a hard time carving out a role in the pros after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He spent six years in the league as a backup in San Francisco and also in Cleveland. His coaching career started in 2013 with the Carolina Panthers as their quarterback coach. He stayed five years in Carolina before taking the job with the Bills in 2019.

New York Giants poach Buffalo’s OC to be their new HC

The New York Giants have found their next head coach and they utilized a different perspective in finding him. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that sources believe that the Giants are working on a deal with Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

The Giants have since confirmed that decision.

New York successfully hashed out a deal with Daboll, reuniting him with an old friend Joe Schoen. Schoen, the Giants’ new general manager joined the team on Jan 21. But the real big plus with the two for New York is the belief that they would have alignment with the direction of the team, as both worked together in Buffalo. And that bodes well for quarterback Daniel Jones, who recently received a vote of confidence from the Giants ownership. They still believe Jones is the long-term answer at quarterback the Giants and were looking to find a GM and coach to help turn around his rocky start to his NFL career.
