Browns fire offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson
Why it matters: The Browns are making changes to their coaching staff after a disappointing season, hoping to improve their struggling offense and provide better support for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
The decision to fire Dorsey and Dickerson comes after the Browns finished with a 3-14 record and ranked near the bottom in total offense and scoring.
The team's inability to effectively utilize Watson and protect him resulted in a lackluster offensive performance throughout the season.
Yes, but: It's important to note that Dorsey and Dickerson were only with the Browns for one season, and they faced challenges such as Watson's struggles and injuries to key players.
Dorsey was previously the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills before being hired by the Browns. However, his tenure with the team was short-lived, as the offense underperformed and Watson had a low QBR.
Dickerson was brought in to improve the Browns' offensive line, but the unit struggled in both pass protection and run blocking, allowing a high number of sacks and ranking poorly in rushing offense.
What's next: The Browns will now focus on finding replacements for both positions in order to revamp their offensive strategy and provide better support for Watson.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski, who joined the Browns in 2020, will lead the search for a new offensive coordinator, marking his third coordinator change since taking over the team.
With a top-three pick in the upcoming NFL draft, the Browns have an opportunity to add talent to their offense and potentially bring in competition for Watson.
The bottom line: The firing of Dorsey and Dickerson reflects the Browns' commitment to improving their offense and maximizing Watson's potential. The team hopes that new coaching hires and additional talent will lead to a more successful season ahead.
