Panthers to hire Dorsey as QBs coach

MOBILE, Ala.

The Panthers again are staying in-house to fill a coaching position.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera is expected to hire Ken Dorsey, one of the team's pro scouts, as his quarterbacks coach, a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday.

Dorsey, 31, joined the scouting department two years ago after working with former Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke at IMG Academy, where they trained Cam Newton during the lockout before Newton's rookie season.

Dorsey is the winningest quarterback in University of Miami history, posting a 38-2 record and leading the Hurricanes to the 2001 national title. Dorsey, drafted in the seventh round by San Francisco in 2003, was 2-11 as a starter with the 49ers and Cleveland. He also played with Toronto in the CFL in 2010.

The Panthers promoted three assistants last week – offensive coordinator Mike Shula, receivers coach Ricky Proehl and special teams coordinator Richard Rodgers. They also re-hired running backs coach Jim Skipper, who was on John Fox's Panthers' staff for nine years before spending the past two seasons with the Tennessee Titans.

I still think you have to give Weeden a shot to conpete with whoever they decide to bring in. Alex might be a great fit for them. I believe they are on the cusp of having a really great defense under Horton. You're absolutely right about their TE situation.

This is a team that really needs to look at FA to upgrade a couple spots on their offensive line, TE, a pass rusher, and another Cb to play opposite Joe Haden. I do think they are having the best offseason this far, though.

There were numerous quotes on Weeden in this thread, just quoting the last one.

Cleveland Browns won't yet commit to Brandon Weeden as starter - ESPN

I didn't realize that the Browns had 6 different coaches since 1999. I knew they had a lot, but six was high. Chud might not last either. So I don't know if I want Alex there, because I don't see Alex as a franchise saver. I just think he could lead some teams that have a good foundation. No, I don't share the idea that everything needs to be perfect, like some do. I just know that he needs some help. I also didn't realize that Norv has had 5 RBs lead the league in rushing while he was coach of the team (whether that be OC or HC). LaDamian and Gore obviously are two of his best.
