Cleveland Browns announce 4 new coaches, including offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey

The 2024 season might not be over for the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Cleveland Browns are already making moves for next season.

On Monday, the Browns announced that they have hired Ken Dorsey as their new offensive coordinator, as well as Tommy Rees as the tight ends coach, Jacques Cesaire as the defensive line coach and Duce Staley as the running backs coach.

Dorsey is coming back to Cleveland after playing for the Browns from 2006 to 2008.

“The vibe is just so different than when I was here as a player,” Dorsey said.

He has spent 16 years in the NFL as either a player or coach.

Dorsey has spent the last five years with the Buffalo Bills, starting as a quarterbacks coach and moving up to offensive coordinator.

During Dorsey’s first season as offensive coordinator for the Bills, Buffalo finished second in the NFL in total offense and points per game.

Dorsey played six seasons in the NFL after setting numerous school records at Miami (Fla.), where he went 38-2 record as a starter and helped the Hurricanes capture the 2001 national championship.

“Ken has worked with and elevated some of the top quarterbacks in this league and will bring a fresh approach to our offense,” said head coach Kevin Stefanski. “He knows what it takes to be successful at that position as he was one of the most successful college quarterbacks of all time and that has helped him become a tremendous coach. He has a history with this team and knows what the Browns mean to this city. We are very excited to bring in Ken as offensive coordinator.”

Rees joins the Browns after spending last season as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

He spent six years as a coach at Notre Dame, starting as a quarterbacks coach before getting promoted to offensive coordinator.

“Tommy has established himself as one of the top assistant coaches in college football and I have no doubt that will transition to the NFL,” said Stefanski. “He has an incredible football acumen and I look forward to bringing his insight and unique perspective from top college programs to our offense.”

Cesaire has spent 18 years in the NFL as either a player or coach.
