Latest development around Kevin Stefanski after being fired by the Cleveland Browns shows just how fast the NFL moves
Kevin Stefanski is already being connected to other head coaching vacancies after being let go in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Browns wasted no time making a big change within the organization after wrapping up its 2025 season on Sunday.
Cleveland fired HC Kevin Stefanski to start the week and there will be a new head coach in Northeast Ohio after six seasons. Stefanski’s 8-26 record outweighed the good he’s done in his time with Cleveland and change was warranted.
Kevin Stefanski is already being connected to the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants
The NFL moves quickly and Stefanski receiving interest elsewhere shows just that. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Stefanski is expected to speak with the Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans about their head coaching vacancies. Stefanski receiving interest elsewhere on the same day he was fired shows just what the NFL thinks of him.
Stefanski has two Coach of the Year awards in Cleveland — and helped the team reach the playoffs twice in his six seasons. Before Stefanski arrived, the Browns hadn’t sniffed the playoffs in a couple of decades. The swing and miss on the Deshaun Watson trade is the single biggest failure to why the Browns are in the spot that they are in.
We see bad offenses figure it out “enough” to be competitive on Sundays and Cleveland’s inability to do that the last two seasons fell back on Stefanski. Stefanski is still a head coach who helped turn the Browns around in a major way for a couple of years. Since then, the Browns have regressed and that’s why they’ll be hiring a new coach again soon.
The Titans have had their opening since back in October when Brian Callahan was fired. New York opened its job in November when it let Brian Daboll go — and the Falcons parted ways with Raheem Morris on Monday. It’s shaping up for Stefanski to get a head coaching interview after being let go by the Browns with him already talking to outside teams. Cleveland will play each of these three teams next season, as well.
