Kevin Stefanski’s firing by the Cleveland Browns meant the end of one part of his NFL journey. However, it’s just starting the next.
Stefanski, 43, quickly jumped to near the top of the list of potential candidates elsewhere around the league. The Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons are all looking for new head coaches.
Six years of NFL head coaching experience makes Stefanski an attractive candidate. Two playoff appearances while coaching a franchise that has had three total since the expansion team began play in 1999 is just as impressive.
