Overview
- Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports Cleveland has not decided on Kevin Stefanski’s job status, with an ownership decision pending.
- The Browns are 3-12 with two games remaining after winning three games last season, intensifying scrutiny of the direction.
- Bitonio says Stefanski maintains locker-room respect and is a coach the team can build around.
- Coverage points to persistent quarterback instability and Deshaun Watson’s fully guaranteed $230 million contract, with limited availability, as major obstacles.
- Stefanski has two Coach of the Year awards with playoff trips in 2020 and 2023, and he would be a top candidate elsewhere if dismissed, per reporting.
