The Cleveland Browns fired Ken Dorsey, parting ways with their second offensive coordinator in as many seasons, multiple outlets reported Sunday.
Offensive line coach Andy Dickerson also was let go, per reports.
The Brows concluded their season Saturday with a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, finishing 3-14. Their offense, hampered by rotating quarterbacks and another season-ending injury to running back Nick Chubb, mustered only an NFL-low 15.2 points per game.
Cleveland will finish last in the NFL in scoring with 258 points — fewer than half the points scored by the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski, who has a 40-44 record in five seasons with the Browns, is expected to be retained, NFL Network reported.
This is the second consecutive season that Dorsey, 43, has been fired. The Buffalo Bills dismissed him 10 games into the 2023 season amid perception the Josh Allen-led offense was underachieving.
In Cleveland, Dorsey replaced Alex Van Pelt, who was let go within days of the Browns getting routed 45-14 by the Houston Texans in the wild-card round of the playoffs last Jan. 13. The Van Pelt offense ranked 10th in the NFL in points per game (23.3).
It was expected Dorsey would take quarterback Deshaun Watson to the next level, but the Browns were 1-6 when Watson was lost for the season with a torn Achilles. Veteran Jameis Winston and second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson took over at the position, with Bailey Zappe making his first start of the season in the loss on Saturday.
