Per Adam Schefter, Kevin Stefanski has been sacked as the HC of the Browns.
January 5, 2026
Surely he’s the top candidate for us now?

Please Giants, do the right thing. Schedule the interview ASAP!
I know it’s been said the Giants HC spot is going to be coveted (like, as much as Josina sucks, she ain’t gonna be running interference for our ownership like someone like Schwartz would).
But if you’re Kevin, I just cant see why he’d pick us with our hot seat GM and ownership mess if he has other options available. Here’s to hoping Jaxson is a big enough draw, but I’m skeptical.
I’ll be happy if we hire him
Why do people want Stefanski?
I am looking forward to Giants 2026. Stefanski can definitely get this team right if he is hired. Idk about a Super Bowl but it’d be nice to get back to the playoffs finally.
Go get him
If he comes as a package deal with Schwartz at DC
What time does his flight land in Newark? I’ll grab his bags.
Please no.
He should be top of the list right now, but really hoping the Ravens decide to split with Harbaugh. Then Harbaugh is the favorite to me. Some times you just need a new voice in the room and the Ravens may feel that way
He’s the same as Daboll in my mind. I don’t want him
Stefanski and Dart are a dream combo but truly the DC decision will be huge. Wouldn’t mind Schwartz coming with but that is the one thing giving me pause on Stefanski. Not that my opinion matters but he is top of my list unless you want the coordinator route again then I say Shula
i’m fucking good.
Scheon going to tab one of his friends smh
Man wtf are the brown doing 🤣
I’m not sure why everyone is so pro Stenfanski. He’s a good candidate who I would definitely interview. But he’s not exactly been a success in Cleveland.
To me, this has shades of Vrabel. We all know he’s a good coach, he won COTY twice and a playoff game with the Browns. The possibility of bringing Schwartz is such a massive plus too.
I don’t like how he handled the baker mayfield and shedeur situations and his record the last few seasons are pretty bad. Browns fans say he always tries to prove he’s the smartest in the room and is inflexible. I honestly don’t think he’s the best guy for dart and I’m not sold on him
Absolutely should be near the top of our list now. He’s a great coach who got ruined by front office incompetency that makes us look great by comparison.
Cool, I am sure he will be in for interview this week.
Maybe I am not too smart, but why would the coach of another failing team be a “top of the list” coach for us. If the guy can’t win for Cleveland, why would it be different for our team?
His record as the Browns HC is 45-56-0. That’s a losing record the last time I checked and that’s with a dominating defense. Thanks but no thanks. Keep looking Giants.
I want LaFleur, Shula or Kubiak. Winning cultures. No offense to Stefanski but he’s not a winner, even if it is the browns.
This is wild from them, get him in and see what he thinks is possible. KS has done a lot with so little and a back office in wild delusions
I would take him or Harbaugh (if he becomes available) in a heartbeat. Stefanski is out here making the playoffs with Joe Flacco. This is 100% an upgrade.
I am sure I will get downvoted into Bolivia, but I am not super sold on Stefanski being the HC to change everything. I would love nothing more than to be wrong and he’s amazing but can someone explain what I am missing
I know he got more than he should of out of the QB talent he had in Cleveland but are we not sure he had a ton of pull or say in who they were taking? I guess having Dart kinda takes away from any possible draft mismanagement but did we really see enough to give him keys to Dart’s development?
Fools gold.
He is an offensive coach on paper. For all the time he has been there Cleveland was coasting on their defense. He also seems very prickly. People only take this kind of attitude from winners. I guess a mid coach is perfectly fine for us
If Harbaugh isn’t fired too this is a no brainer over some chance at a DC without head coaching experience.
Yes, let’s get some of that four win energy into the Giants. It’s exactly what the boys need right now.
Guys like this are better off taking a coordinator position and thinking about what they could have done better, regrouping, than jumping right into another HC position.
Stefanski may have had success at times with the Browns, but he got fired because he flamed out. He may have learned something doing it, but usually you need a bit of time and comparison to put it all together.
And please, stop with the COTY stuff. As others mentioned, Daboll won it, too. So did Jason Garett.
man i’m so not excited that he’s the ‘best option’ cuz he’s definitely not
FWIW Browns’ owner Jimmy Haslam has publicly taken the blame for the DeShaun Watson trade (interestingly saying it was him and his wife who made the call) and in this case, given his history of meddling and bad calls, I believe it: [https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/browns-owner-jimmy-haslam-admits-deshaun-watson-trade-was-a-big-swing-and-miss/](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/browns-owner-jimmy-haslam-admits-deshaun-watson-trade-was-a-big-swing-and-miss/)
Unless someone unexpected shakes loose (maybe LaFleur), Stefanski is my first choice for Giants HC.
FIRE HARBAUGH !!
Hey Stefanski want to coach for a team that fumbled the number 1 pick and has a shit FO, GET IN HERE!!!
with schoen at the helm I’m just preparing for the worst with arthur smith being hired
This sub has pounded the table for Daboll’s head for 3 years just to start clamoring for Kevin Stefanski? We really think this guy is a top HC in the league?
I would still prefer a defensive minded HC with a good OC. Talent wise our teams strength is defense but somehow that was the biggest downside this year and I put that as lack of depth on secondary and linebacker and as bad DC scheme. We should really solidify our defense to its best potential as that’s where our money is spent.
I’d be fine with Stefanski as HC but I really want to know who the next OC would be if he or Harbaugh or whoever gets the job.
He should be the number one option here honestly. All the interviews should be cancelled get him in here son him and Schoen have months to scout the draft together.
Get ready to learn New Jersey buddy
i’d rather take a chance on a guy like phil rivers than a coach we know isn’t gonna be the one
He should probably be our first call in the coaching search. He’s probably going to be a lot of teams’ first call though.
I don’t understand wanting Stefanksi. The Browns have won 8 games in the past 2 seasons. They have been terrible for some time and were awful both sides of the ball in their last playoff appearance, van Pelt was blamed for that and they have gotten worse since then.
Also, if he wants Schwartz then we will have to move on a lot of good pieces on defense making it an even larger rebuild.
