Are the Miami Dolphins waiting for Ken Dorsey for OC?

The Miami Dolphins have yet to hire an offensive coordinator and speculation is that they are waiting for a coach currently in the playoffs. Could that someone be Ken Dorsey?

Ken Dorsey is an intriguing candidate for the Dolphins’ vacant OC spot. Hired by Sean McDermott in 2019 to coach quarterbacks, Dorsey changed Josh Allen’s career. The question fans are asking is whether or not he’s Brian Flores’ target?

Earlier today, the Dolphins signed Charlie Frye to be the team’s QB coach. This move was made with no CO on staff, but what is interesting is that Dorsey and Frye were teammates in Cleveland during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. They have remained close friends.

Many in league circles believe Dorsey is ready for the OC jump. Brian Daboll, who currently serves as CO for Bills, was expected to quit for a job at SC. It will not happen this year. Dorsey was lining up for the promotion, which won’t be happening either.

Dorsey has a history in Miami leading the Hurricanes to a national championship and was a Heisman Trophy finalist. He set most of the Hurricanes passing records during his time there. His professional career was far from excellent.

As a coach, Dorsey would make a lot of sense to Brian Flores and could give the Dolphins some consistency in the job for several years. He would also be a good teacher for Tua Tagovailoa.

Obviously we don’t know what Flores is thinking but Dorsey could be the target. Hiring Frye would make a lot of sense and the fact that the Dolphins haven’t hired anyone indicates they could wait for a playoff team to finish their season. Maybe we’ll find out more next week if the Bills are eliminated on Sunday night.
