Cleveland Browns P.M. Links: Ken Dorsey goes into coaching; Peyton Hillis doesn't get any respect; Mike Holmgren loves dogs

Mike Holmgren shows his support for dogs.

Former Cleveland Browns back-up quarterback Ken Dorsey retired after spending the 2010 season with Toronto of the Canadian Football League.

So now that he's not playing, he did the next best thing.

On MercuryNews.com:

Now Dorsey is the offensive coordinator of Riverview High in Sarasota, Fla., and is installing an offensive system for first-year coach Todd Johnson, a former NFL safety.

He also is quarterbacks coach at IMG Madden Football Academy in nearby Bradenton, working with athletes as young as 9 years old all the way up to Cam Newton, the No. 1 pick in this year's NFL draft.

"We get kids you are teaching the basics to, all the way up to those who are refining their game," Dorsey said.

Dorsey wants to be the offensive coordinator at a major college or in the NFL, writes Jerry McDonald of MercuryNews.com, but his "dream job" is returning to the Bay Area to run the offense at Cal.

 

 

100

Peyton Hillis of the Browns finished with a career-high 1,654 yards from scrimmage and 13 TDs last season, but he is not considered one of the top 100 players by his peers.

He was popular enough to be on the cover of Madden NFL 12, but Madden doesn't count when it comes to respect from NFL players, writes ESPN's James Walker.

Are there 100 or more players better than Hillis following last season's performance?

Or is Hillis a one-year wonder, which seemed to factor into the players' thinking? Does Hillis need to put together several strong seasons in Cleveland before he deserves to be mentioned among the top 100 players? 

 

 

Supporting those Dogs

A town in California wants to end its ban on dogs downtown. One area resident, Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren, talked about his love for dogs during an interview. It must be the power of the Dawg Pound.
