BREAKING: Kevin Stefanski FIRED as Cleveland Browns Head Coach. Right Decision for Andrew Berry?

On Black Monday, January 5, 2026, the Cleveland Browns officially announced they have fired head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons. Despite being a two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year (2020, 2023), Stefanski was relieved of his duties following a disappointing 5–12 record in the 2025 NFL season.While Stefanski brought rare stability to the franchise—leading Cleveland to its first playoff win in 26 years back in 2020—the team's recent performance proved fatal. The Browns went a combined 7–26 over the last two seasons, leading owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam to cite "unsatisfactory results" as the primary reason for the coaching change.Key Details of the Browns Coaching Search:Front Office Stability: General Manager Andrew Berry remains safe and will lead the search for the next Cleveland Browns head coach.Stefanski’s Legacy: He leaves as the winningest coach since the franchise's 1999 return, with 45 regular-season victories.The Market: As a respected offensive mind, Stefanski is expected to be a top candidate for other NFL head coaching vacancies, including rumored interest from the New York Giants.The organization is now pivoting toward a "thorough process" to find a new leader for their young core.Welcome to Marv and Rauh in the Morning — your daily sports show breaking down the biggest news in the NFL, NBA, College Football, MLB, NHL, and more.
