Cleveland’s offense floundered in 2024, leading the unit to finishing last in the league in numerous categories.
BEREA, Ohio — The Browns turned heads last season when, after a dramatic run to the playoffs, they reconfigured many of the key pieces of their offensive staff, most notably moving on from Alex Van Pelt as offensive coordinator and replacing him with Ken Dorsey.
Analyzing Browns coaching candidates to replace offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, who was fired Sunday after Cleveland's 2024 NFL season ended.
The Cleveland Browns fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Sunday, one day after the team concluded its regular season, CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones reports. Dorsey spent just one season with the team and served as the primary play-caller for some of this season.
The Browns were last in total points this season with fewer than 15 per game, and close to last in total yards and rushing yards.
The Cleveland Browns fired Ken Dorsey, parting ways with their second offensive coordinator in as many seasons, multiple outlets reported Sunday.
Rees joined the Browns’ staff in 2024 and his only previous NFL experience came with the Chargers as an offensive assistant in 2016. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Alabama in 2023 and held the same title at Notre Dame during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
The Browns’ dismal 3-14 season reportedly isn’t expected to impact the future of head coach Kevin Stefanski, but that didn’t stop Cleveland from making a major change to its staff less than a day after their 2024 campaign ended.
The interview took place on the same day that Stefanski hired his new offensive line coach, Mike Bloomgren, to replace the fired Andy Dickerson. Bloomgren, who worked under former Browns offensive line coach Bill Callahan with the Jets in 2007-08, spent the previous seven seasons as head coach at Rice before being fired in October.
The Cleveland Browns took a step back on offense, specifically along the line. But on Wednesday, the Browns hope they found their answer. The Browns announced the hiring of Mike Bloomgren as the team’s new offensive line coach.
The Browns’ 2024 season was like a giant mudslide impossible to stop. The mudslide destroyed everything in its path until it finally settled at the bottom of 3-14 Hill. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson paid for the Browns finishing last in the league in points scored (258) with their jobs.
