Owner Jimmy Haslam reportedly just made it official. The Cleveland Browns are moving on from Kevin Stefanski, the winningest head coach in the franchise’s expansion era.
The writing had been on the wall for weeks, but the two-time AP Coach of the Year didn’t exactly make it easy. After playing the playoff-bound Buffalo Bills tough in a 23-20 loss at home in Week 16, the Browns won back-to-back games over division rivals Pittsburgh and Cincinnati to finish the season at 5-12.
Kevin Stefanski coached 101 regular-season games as Browns head coach — the most for the franchise since Blanton Collier’s 112 games from 1963–1970.
