Buffalo Bills Sean McDermott addresses firing of Ken Dorsey
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey after team's 5-5 season, citing lack of production and consistency.
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott made a difficult decision on Tuesday, firing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey after the team's disappointing 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos. The Bills, who dropped to 5-5 on the season, struggled out of the gate, committing four turnovers and failing to score until late in the first half.
McDermott emphasized the need for more production and consistency, expressing dissatisfaction with quarterback Josh Allen's performance. Allen, who excelled under former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, has struggled since Daboll's departure for the New York Giants. This season, Allen leads the league with 11 interceptions and has turned the ball over 14 times in 10 games.
In a surprising move, the Bills promoted quarterbacks coach Joe Brady to offensive coordinator, despite Allen's struggles under him this season. While Brady's previous experience with LSU and the Carolina Panthers did not yield significant success, the Bills felt they had limited options.
The decision to fire Dorsey reflects the Bills' disappointment with their 5-5 record and the 18 turnovers they have committed this season. While the team ranks eighth in scoring, their lack of ball security has been a major issue. It remains to be seen whether Brady can address these concerns and improve the team's performance.
