Ken Dorsey is considered a candidate for the vacant offensive coordinator position with the Dallas Cowboys, ESPN reported on Thursday.

The position is open after then-offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was promoted to the role of head coach.

Schottenheimer, who did not hold play-calling responsibilities this past season under then-head coach Mike McCarthy, is expected to call plays for the Cowboys in 2025.

Dorsey, 43, was fired earlier this month after one season as the offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns' offense was hampered by rotating quarterbacks and another season-ending injury to running back Nick Chubb. Cleveland mustered an NFL-low 15.2 points per game. Dorsey assumed the play-calling role midway through the season.

This is the second consecutive season that Dorsey has been fired. The Buffalo Bills dismissed him 10 games into the 2023 season amid perception the Josh Allen-led offense was underachieving.
