Ken Dorsey is expected to join the Cowboys coaching staff
Before the hiring of Klayton Adams as the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey was a name we also heard was in contention for the role. With the team deciding to go with the Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach as the team’s offensive coordinator, many thought Dorsey may be in line to take the quarterbacks coach job in Dallas if he did not get an offensive coordinator job somewhere else.
It was reported today by Mike Garafolo that Dallas wants to hire Ken Dorsey, but the role has yet to be finalized.
The #Cowboys are working to hire former #Bills and #Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Not done yet and the role is being finalized but Dorsey is expected to join Brian Schottenheimer’s coaching staff soon. pic.twitter.com/wtqBT2Gogu

Dorsey, 43, has spent time as quarterbacks coach with the Carolina Panthers (2013-2017), Buffalo Bills (2019-2021), and was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Bills in 2022. Dorsey was fired mid-year in 2023, which was met with much criticism around the league.
In his full season with the Bills, Dorsey led the Bills to the second-overall EPA/play and second-overall success rate. Dorsey’s role in Dallas is yet to be defined, but we can add him to the list as another coach who has had previous success who should help bolster the offensive coaching staff that has already received rave reviews.
As it stands today, there has yet to be a quarterback’s coach named in Brian Schottenheimer’s staff, so that is a position to keep an eye on as things develop.
