Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns are going into year six with Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski at the helm. They have been involved with many iterations of this team, from the Browns’ first playoff win in 2020 against the Pittsburgh Steelers to the many controversial quarterback rooms of the last few seasons. They have continued to lead through the many ups and downs.
The biggest risk of their career to this point was the decision to bring Deshaun Watson into this organization. While we don’t know who made the final decision on this trade, we do know that it has been one of the worst choices this organization has made in the 21st century. Despite it all, Berry and Stefanski are still in Cleveland and have another opportunity to find success with this team.
It is fair to wonder whether their jobs could be on the line if this season goes poorly and how poorly it would need to go for Jimmy Haslam to decide to move on. Earlier this offseason, Jared wrote that 2025 was Year 1 for the power pair with the Browns, but is that really true?
Given the lack of star power on offense, the expectations for this team are low; however, if the Browns don’t make any improvements from last season, it could be the end for the Berry/Stefanski regime.
The decision on whether to keep them around will most likely not be based solely on the team’s record, but rather on whether there are improvements in the offense and a clear direction for how this team can reach the playoffs again in the near future.
Let me know what you think in the comments – Are Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry’s jobs on the line this season?
