With the Kevin Stefanski decision now behind us, fans of the Cleveland Browns can only brace for some uncomfortable days ahead.
In the NFL, head coach firings typically come with a complete overhaul of the coaching staff, with the new hire in charge of deciding who stays and who goes. That means the Browns could soon find themselves in quite the pickle, as retaining respected assistants and coordinators like Jim Schwartz and Tommy Rees is now no guarantee.
Most Browns fans would agree that Schwartz, who initially interviewed for Cleveland's HC job back in 2020, deserves to be on general manager Andrew Berry’s short list of candidates after leading the Browns’ defense to elite heights in recent seasons.
