The Jets search for a new offensive coordinator is three weeks old and while only a handful of candidates have been leaked to the media it’s fair to say that a member of Todd Bowles’ current staff could be exactly what the Jets are looking for to run their offense in current wide receivers coach Karl Dorrell. A former wide receiver himself out of UCLA, Dorrell has almost 30 years of coaching experience between the NFL and several big-time college football programs in a variety of key roles. From head coach at his alma mater where he posted a career record of 35-27, to go along with six seasons of offensive coordinator experience with stops at Colorado (1995-1998), Washington (1999), and Vanderbilt (2014). Bringing in an experienced play caller is crucial for the Jets, given the fact that the only two quarterbacks on the roster who will be under contract next season are Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. A coordinator who has worked with young quarterbacks on a day-to-day basis is a must for the Jets, and it’s another area in which Dorrell has extensive experience. Dorrell has spent three seasons as a QB coach with Miami in 2011 before spending 2012 and 2013 with the Houston Texans Just MAYBE this is why Bowles isn't looking so hard.
You've got a good point there. He was one of the few bright spots on this train wreck of a coaching staff last year. I hope he can coach the entire offense just as well.
Maybe if Decker and Marshall are released this guy can be a Player / Coach and mentor the young guys ? Does he have any experience at CB ?
