Cleveland Browns Could Be Firing Kevin Stefanski And Replacing Him With A Former Coach Of The Year Award Winner(Report)

There are about 48 hours until the Cleveland Browns kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens, and the Browns will look to be getting their second win of the season.

Cleveland has been one of the worst teams in the league this year, and last week, they lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury.

The Browns decided they would roll with veteran backup quarterback Jameis Winston as the starter this week, and that wasn’t the team’s only change.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that he would no longer be calling the offensive plays and would turn them over to new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

There is a great chance that Stefanski is now coaching for his job, and one local reporter thinks a move could be coming.

ESPN’s Tony Grossi, who covers the Cleveland Browns, was on ESPN Cleveland radio on Friday and stated that if the Browns were to lose the next two games before the BYE week, there could be a chance that Mike Vrabel replace Stefanski as the head coach.

Vrabel joined the Cleveland Browns coaching staff this offseason as a coaching and personnel consultant, and there is a good chance he would be the interim head coach if Cleveland were to make a move.

Getting rid of Stefanski would be a major mistake since he has shown that he is one of the better coaches in the NFL, and he should get another season with the team.

If the Browns were to fire Stefanski, it would be a major mess, and there is no way anyone would be able to trust ownership in finding the next head coach since they have done a horrible job of it the last decade before they found Stefanski.
