There’s a reason why Kevin Stefanski, who was relieved of his duties as head coach of the Cleveland Browns on Monday, is expected to land a new job quickly, should he choose to pursue opportunities during this year’s hiring cycle. He’s not only a two-time AP Coach of the Year, but he’s a class act who represents the franchise well and is known for having his players’ backs.
Several factors led to Stefanski’s ousting, with the team’s 8-26 record over the last two seasons at the top of the list. It’s hard to knock the culture Stefanski was able to build over his six years in Cleveland, however.
