Ken Dorsey announces he will coach from the sideline this season

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey has announced that he will coach from the sideline to start the 2024 regular season instead of from the booth.

This is a new step for the first-year coordinator, who we did not see on the sideline during his previous coaching seasons. Dorsey made this wise decision in hopes of connecting more with starting quarterback Deshaun Watson and other key offensive players during the game.

In his time with the Buffalo Bills, Dorsey was often found in the booth rather than on the field. This was a change of pace for him as he had previously served as the team’s quarterback coach and passing game coordinator, a role that allowed him to stay on the sideline. It seems now that Ken Dorsey now prefers to be on the sidelines with his quarterback.

The preference for face-to-face communication during crucial game decisions is favored by many NFL coaches. In a noisy, high-pressure environment, it can be challenging to strategize your offensive game plan from the booth. We’ll see if this strategy helps the Browns offense as they prepare to take on the Cowboys in a sure-to-be-loud environment.
