The Cleveland Browns' decision to fire Kevin Stefanski but not Andrew Berry is very questionable.
The Browns made a move, and it might not be the wrong one, but they didn’t make that big move. They changed the voice on the sideline while convincing themselves that the person building the roster can still fix what’s broken.
Meanwhile, Berry hasn’t shown that for a long time.
Cleveland Browns reporter Zac Jackson didn’t agree with the move, and it’s tough to blame him.
“We will see what happens from here, but thinking the head coach had to go but the current front office can get this fixed is the most Cleveland Browns 2012–2025 thought ever,” he wrote.
Stefanski wasn’t perfect, as the offense was bad, the quarterback situation never figured itself out, and expectations weren’t met, but he also coached through things that most other head coaches in the NFL would struggle with.
If the Browns truly believe the main issue was coaching, keeping the same front office only works if the roster will improve a ton. There’s not a chance Berry thinks his team is good enough to compete, no matter who the coach is.
Instead, Cleveland is once again asking a new coach to solve the same problems with the same guy above him.
