Ken Dorsey joined the Cowboys in 2025 as the pass game specialist, bringing 11 years of NFL coaching experience to Dallas, including three as an offensive coordinator.

Dorsey assisted the Cowboys to 268.1 net passing yards-per- game in 2025, good for second in the NFL. He contributed to the passing game plan for Dak Prescott, who finished third in the NFL and third in franchise history with 4,552 passing yards and recorded six 300-yard passing games, tied for most in the NFL. Dorsey also worked closely with the tight ends, as Jake Ferguson set a career high with 82 receptions, tied for third among NFL tight ends.

Dorsey came to Dallas after spending 2024 as the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator. The Browns offense was marred by injuries, including a season-ending Achilles injury to Deshaun Watson in Week 7. Cleveland had four quarterbacks start a game in 2024 - Watson, Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe.

Prior to Cleveland, Dorsey served a five-year stint from 2019-23 in Buffalo, first as quarterbacks coach, adding passing game coordinator duties in 2021 and elevating to offensive coordinator in 2022.

With Dorsey commanding the offense in 2022, the Bills finished second in the NFL in total offense (397.6 yards-per-game) and points-per-game (28.4). Under Dorsey, Josh Allen achieved his first two career Pro Bowl nods and a second-team All-Pro selection in 2020. Also in 2020, Allen became the first player in league history with at least 4,000 passing yards, 30 passing touchdowns and eight rushing touchdowns in a season.

Dorsey briefly served as the assistant director of athletics at Florida International University in 2018.

In 2011 Dorsey joined the Carolina Panthers as a pro scout before transitioning to quarterbacks coach from 2013-17. He helped Cam Newton to two Pro Bowl nods, first-team All-Pro recognition and NFL MVP honors in 2015 as he led the Panthers to a Super Bowl L appearance. Newton became just the third player in NFL history with at least 30 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns in a season.

Prior to Carolina, Dorsey trained NFL prospects before the 2011 NFL Draft at IMG Academy.

Originally selected by San Francisco in the seventh round of the 2003 NFL draft, Dorsey enjoyed a six-year playing career in the NFL. The former quarterback appeared in 16 career games with 13 starts, completing 214-of-408 passes for 2,082 yards and eight touchdowns. He spent three seasons with San Francisco (2003-05) and three with Cleveland (2006-08), also playing one season with the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL.

Dorsey played four seasons at Miami (Fla.) and racked up a 38-2 record as the starting quarterback for the Hurricanes, becoming the winningest quarterback in program history. The Orinda, Calif., native set school records for passing yards (9,565) and passing touchdowns (86) on his way to a 2001 National Championship. He was inducted into the Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

Dorsey and his wife, Jordan, have two children, Tyler and Logan.
