“Stefanski Would Rather Get Fired”: ESPN Cleveland Believes That Cleveland Browns HC Kevin Stefanski Would Rather Be Fired Than Let Shedeur Sanders Play

The Cleveland Browns have a 2-7 record this season in the NFL and head coach Kevin Stefanski has no plans to switch quarterbacks for next week’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens (4-5 record). Cleveland lost to the New York Jets (2-7 record) by a final score of 27-20 on Sunday.

Stefanski riding with quarterback Dillon Gabriel for another week is causing angst amongst the fans and media in Cleveland, Ohio. They are angry that the head coach will not switch to quarterback Shedeur Sanders anytime soon. If they don’t play him at all, there is a chance that Stefanski will get fired anyways.

Aaron Goldhammer was on ESPN Cleveland radio on Monday talking about when the Browns could possibly play Sanders this season. He had a very bold take about that statement and said,

“I guess that coach Stefanski would rather get fired than play Shedeur Sanders.”

Goldhammer has a good point because it appears as if the head coach of the Browns has no interest in playing him at any point this season. Stefanski is going to ride with Gabriel probably for the rest of the season. The only way that he goes to Shedeur is if Gabriel gets injured at any point, but even then Stefanski may not play him.
