Browns fire OC Ken Dorsey, OL coach Andy Dickerson

The firings come less than 24 hours after the Browns completed a disappointing season marred by injuries and ineffective play at quarterback. The last-place Browns lost 35-10 on Saturday to the Baltimore Ravens to finish 3-14 -- their worst record since their winless 2017 season.

Dorsey and Dickerson lasted only one season in Cleveland, which enters Sunday ranked 28th in the NFL in total offense and 32nd in scoring.

Dorsey was the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator before being fired from that position in November 2023. He was hired by the Browns in February to work under offensive-minded head coach Kevin Stefanski and help oversee an offense built around injury-plagued quarterback Deshaun Watson.

But that vision never took off, as Watson posted the lowest Total QBR in the NFL and the Browns failed to reach 20 points in each of his seven starts.

Browns had to deal with many injuries in the offense. But so did the 49ers, and their running game was pretty effective most of the season.

I was wondering if Dorsey was just keeping it simple to account for the back-ups and rookies who had to play.
