Report: Browns inclined to dismiss Stefanski
The Cleveland Browns are leaning toward moving on from head coach Kevin Stefanski, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports.
The organization has done background work on other potential head-coaching candidates, Russini adds.
Meanwhile, general manager Andrew Berry is reportedly likely to keep his job.
Stefanski, who is about to complete his sixth season as the Browns' head coach, is in the midst of a 4-12 campaign. He's won just seven games over the last two years but the Browns have started the likes of Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders at quarterback over that span.
Stefanski is a two-time NFL coach of the year winner, taking home the accolade in 2020 and 2023. His 11-5 campaign in 2020 led to the Browns' first playoff appearance since 2002. He went back to the playoffs in 2023 with an 11-6 mark.
The 43-year-old served as the offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings before taking the Cleveland job in 2020.
He holds a 44-56 career record as a head coach.
