Los Angeles Rams vs. Carolina Panthers – Browns fans’ open thread

The Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs kicks off today at 4:30 PM ET as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Carolina Panthers. The game will air on Channel 8.1, your FOX affiliate, with the action being called by Joe Davis and Greg Olsen.

The Rams were in the toughest division in football this year, the NFC West, which is represented by the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks, themselves, and the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams were oh-so-close to obtaining the top seed in the NFC a few weeks ago, in the Game of the Year against Seattle. The Rams...

Browns, John Harbaugh: A Saturday update that isn’t surprising, but notable in the head coaching search

Browns, John Harbaugh: A Saturday update that isn’t surprising, but notable in the head coaching search

The Cleveland Browns are officially in on trying to hire John Harbaugh to be their next head coach and replace Kevin Stefanski. Once Harbaugh became available, the Browns would have been failing if they had not done at least their due diligence to see if the former Baltimore Ravens head coach was interested in their job. Oftentimes, behind-the-scenes conversations are had before any official or unofficial request becomes public.

There are a few reasons that Harbaugh might want to come back to his home area to coach Cleveland, but the veteran delayed any immediate interviews for a chance to make...

Browns 2026 NFL draft order: NFL playoff rooting guide, Wild Card weekend

Browns 2026 NFL draft order: NFL playoff rooting guide, Wild Card weekend

The NFL playoffs, for the second straight season, do not include the Cleveland Browns. Instead, Browns fans are focused on the team’s head coaching search, looking at the roster, discussing QB options, and looking ahead to the 2026 NFL draft.

After winning the last two games of the 2025 regular season, Cleveland dropped from what would have been the top overall pick down to the sixth spot with their top selection. The Browns also have the first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that part of the draft order will not be decided until the Jags are eliminated from the...

Cleveland Browns fans express whether Andrew Berry should have been fired, and who the next head coach should be

During the offseason, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.

The Browns are coming off a season-ending victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, fan confidence decreased by 26 percentage points down to 21%. There’s a mix of reasons why the drop may have happened — you have the team firing head coach Kevin Stefanski, which creates some uncertainty for the future direction of the team. You have Shedeur Sanders not getting to look very sharp as the season came to a close. Even though **Myles...

Former Browns HC Kevin Stefanski to interview with five NFL clubs

Former Browns HC Kevin Stefanski to interview with five NFL clubs

The Cleveland Browns fired their head coach Kevin Stefanski on Black Monday. Now, he has already been contacted by several NFL teams about their head coaching vacancies. Stefanski coached the Browns for six seasons beginning in the pandemic year of 2020. He was hired at the same time as GM Andrew Berry.

RELATED: DETERMINING FACTORS IN STEFANSKI FIRING

He is expected to become the head coach of another NFL club and not take the route of reverting back to a team’s coordinator, as many former head coaches do. With his calm demeanor, it would be assumed that he could slide...

John Harbaugh to the Browns seems like a dream, never say never

John Harbaugh to the Browns seems like a dream, never say never

Every time an NFL team fires its head coach, it’s like getting out of a relationship with your significant other. People have reasons for leaving their partner, just like NFL teams parting ways with their head coach. When it comes to finding a new partner, it’s the same thing as finding a new head coach. After firing head coach Kevin Stefanski, the Cleveland Browns are searching for their new coach, just like someone who is looking to get back to dating after a breakup. Similar to dating, you have to put yourself out there: Self-promotion.

Unfortunately, there is no (insert...

Browns Myles Garrett makes 5th All-Pro, 6 teammates receive votes

Browns Myles Garrett makes 5th All-Pro, 6 teammates receive votes

The two most encouraging parts of the Cleveland Browns 2025 NFL season were DE Myles Garrett and the team’s rookie class. Garrett set the single-season sack record in the final game of the year, while LB Carson Schwesinger, DT Mason Graham, RB Quinshon Judkins, and TE Harold Fannin Jr. gave Cleveland fans a lot to be excited about for the future.

Yearly awards have started to roll out. For the Browns, the players noted above are most likely to get the most attention during award season, but they are far from the only talent on the roster. Garrett led the...

Browns announce 5th head coach interview

The NFL playoffs kick off on Saturday, but the NFL head coaching carousel also continues to spin at the same time. In many ways, the league is split right now between teams in the postseason, teams with head coaching vacancies, and those just regrouping for next year.

The Cleveland Browns have added another defensive coach to their interview request list and have completed four interviews so far, all virtual, based on the NFL’s rules:

Browns coaching search: John Harbaugh’s demands are high for any team seeking him

Browns coaching search: John Harbaugh’s demands are high for any team seeking him

At first glance, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh losing his job after an 18-year tenure looked like a slap in the face to the successful coach. Now, it looks like a slap to his bank account.

On March 28, 2025, Harbaugh signed a three-year contract extension with the Ravens that ran through the 2028 season.

RELATED: NFL HEAD COACHING VACANCIES

That means Harbaugh had two years remaining on his deal. After three consecutive years with double-digit wins, three playoff appearances, and a loss in the AFC Championship Game, Baltimore went 8-9-0, including the final season loss to the Pittsburgh...

Saturday Dawg Chow (1/10): A busy start to the offseason

The Cleveland Browns were busy like bees in the first week of the offseason.

It all started the day after the season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, as the Browns:

  • Fired head coach Kevin Stefanski after six years on the job.
  • Kicked off what ownership declared to be “120 days (that) are crucial for the organization.”
  • Revealed that they would be putting a “heavy investment” into the offensive side of the ball.
  • Acknowledged what everyone saw during the season, which is that the quarterback position is broken.
  • Began the search for the next head coach,...

Browns 2026 NFL draft: Huge QB Trinidad Chambliss update

Browns 2026 NFL draft: Huge QB Trinidad Chambliss update

The Cleveland Browns need a quarterback of the future. The hope for many was that Shedeur Sanders could show enough to be that guy (or Dillon Gabriel, for that matter) or that the Browns would lose enough games to have the top pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Instead, questions remain for Sanders and Gabriel, and Cleveland is picking sixth overall in a draft class that many assume will only have two top quarterback options (Fernando Mendoza, Dante Moore).

Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss jumped into the conversation during the College Football Playoffs, but most expected him to return to...
