He was once promoted to passing sport coordinator in 2021, then changed Brian Daboll because the OC in 2022 after Daboll turned into head trainer of the Giants.
Dorsey’s offense was once a pivotal piece of the Bills’ 13-3 end a 12 months in the past, however Allen and Co. controlled simply 10 issues in a season-ending loss to the Bengals within the divisional spherical of the playoffs. Perhaps absolute best recognized for a viral meltdown within the coaches’ sales space, he additionally struggled to supervise a balanced run sport, even with James Cook rising as a big-play danger for the Bills.
