Despite winning the Coach of the Year award just two seasons ago, and winning the Cleveland Browns' only playoff game of the 21st century, Kevin Stefanski was fired immediately after the season finished.
The decision has been criticized by some analysts, as Stefanski didn't seem to be the reason for the Browns' recent shortcomings. Especially with top candidates looking to go elsewhere, the move is quickly looking like it could have been a mistake.
But a recent rumor could give Cleveland the opportunity to vindicate the decision. If current Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gets fired, he would immediately emerge as the perfect candidate for the Browns' open position.
