Kevin Stefanski is excelling in his first season away from the Minnesota Vikings.

Less than a month after helping the Minnesota Vikings make it to the divisional round of the playoffs, Kevin Stefanski decided to take the leap and become the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland has become a place where promising assistants around the NFL go to fail. Before the start of the current season, the Browns finished with a winning record just twice since 1999.

This past weekend, however, Stefanski helped lead Cleveland to a win and ensure that the team won’t finish with a losing record for the first time since 2007.
