"Less than six months ago, coach Kevin Stefanski had a strong show of support from Cleveland Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam despite the organization attempting to rebound from a 3-14 campaign during the 2024 season. But Jimmy Haslam, though, said another three-win season finish wouldn't cut it. "We've got to do better. I think we'll know what better looks like," Jimmy Haslam said."
"Ultimately, a 5-12 finish for the 2025 regular season wasn't better. The Browns on Monday announced the firing of Stefanski, who guided Cleveland the past six seasons and led the franchise to two playoff appearances while also winning two NFL Coach of the Year awards (2020 and 2023). Stefanski leaves Cleveland with a 45-56 regular-season record and a 1-2 record in the postseason."
Kevin Stefanski was fired after the Browns finished 5-12 in the 2025 regular season. Owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam had publicly supported Stefanski months earlier but emphasized the team needed improvement after a 3-14 2024 campaign. Stefanski spent six seasons with Cleveland, compiling a 45-56 regular-season record, a 1-2 postseason mark, and two NFL Coach of the Year awards (2020 and 2023). The Browns will retain general manager Andrew Berry to lead the search for the next head coach. The franchise enters the offseason with two first-round 2026 draft picks and an unsettled quarterback situation.
