The Cleveland Browns could soon be making a major change to their coaching staff and front office.
Cleveland is off to a 1-5 start as it’s been another disappointing season for the Browns. With Cleveland off to another poor start, Browns insider Zac Jackson of The Athletic gave a bleak outlook on the future of head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry.
“The Joe Flacco trade of 10 days ago might eventually change things for his path,” Jackson wrote. “But I tend to agree with you at the moment: This team is back in the quarterback derby next year based on how things stand now, and what that means for temporary starter Dillon Gabriel and Sanders is as uncertain as who will be making the selection.
“Because absolutely zero about this current group’s quarterback track record says they should get to make the next pick. That’s true even if I’m right about Sanders eventually being a starting-quality player. I don’t yet know if I’m right about that. And the more I watch this offense trudge its way around, I’m not quite sure what anyone involved knows about anything.”
If the Browns have a top pick and a chance to select another quarterback early, Jackson doesn’t believe Berry should make the pick. Nor should Jackson be the coach to develop him.
Berry has been the Browns’ general manager since 2020. Stefanski, meanwhile, has been the head coach since 2020.
Browns Fans Call for Stefanski to be Fired
After Cleveland lost 23-9 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns fans called for Stefanski to be fired.
It was another lackluster offensive game for the Browns, as the season appears to be a lost one. So, fans took to social media to make it clear they want Stefanski fired.
“First time I am really starting to think the #Browns fire Kevin Stefanski,” a fan wrote on X. “The team is just terribly coached. Bad penalties. Silly mistakes. I defend the guy as much as anyone, and I am not even saying he should be fired, but the vibe is beginning to form.”
“Fire Stefanski. It’s time to go. 60 passes in a game, less than 20 runs with a rookie quarterback. Flacco wasn’t the problem. The problem has the headset on,” another fan added.
Calls for Stefanski and Berry to be fired also increased after Joe Flacco had a stellar game for the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday.
Insider: Stefanski Needs to Beat Miami to Get Off Hot Seat
Stefanski is in his sixth season as the head coach of the Browns.
Yet, his name has come up as a potential candidate to be fired. Ahead of Cleveland’s Week 7 matchup against the Miami Dolphins at home, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot believes Stefanski needs to win to avoid being fired.
“And the other thing that a victory would do right now is that I think would be good for this entire football team,” Cabot said on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. “It stops the ‘Is Kevin on the hot seat?’ talk that is going on all over the place. 1-6 is going to put their feet back to the fire. And that just makes it difficult for everybody to operate, for the players to go out and to do their jobs. It’s a lot of negativity, a lot of toxicity, a lot of noise. A victory kind of quiets all that down.”
If the Browns lose, perhaps that is the final game he coaches in Cleveland.
