Baker Mayfield Blasts Kevin Stefanski
January 21st, 2026
Calls out former coach and new Atlanta coach Kevin Stefanski.
Boy, this blast from Baker Mayfield sure came out of the blue!
We’re starting to reach the outskirts of the winter blues, where a lack of football and cold weather combine to test a man’s soul.
(Don’t worry. There are still three games left in the 2025 NFL season and the combine is about a month away.)
But holy cow, did Mayfield sure throw a brick of lit M-80s into the middle of Central Avenue last night.
It seems Joe’s good friend D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution inadvertently caught a stray, getting under Mayfield’s skin with an innocent twitter yesterday and Mayfield turned that into a blast at new Dixie Chicks coach Kevin Stefanski, who was Mayfield’s coach for his last two seasons in Cleveland.
How did you spend your Tuesday night?
It seems there’s some bad blood between Mayfield and Stefanski. And Joe doesn’t blame Mayfield for being peeved. After leading the Browns to the playoffs in 2020 and having Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs on the ropes on the road, the next year, Mayfield was injured and you have to figure Stefanski dumped him on the sidewalk like an unwanted puppy since Mayfield was not retained by the Browns.
And Mayfield, if you haven’t guessed by now, does not forget when he’s been shafted.
Boom! And you have to figure the NFL secretly loves this. Drama sells!
Joe’s just going to throw this out there: No later than Week 3, the Bucs will play the Dixie Chicks either on Monday or Thursday night football.
Educated bet: Take the Bucs on the moneyline when the two teams first tangle this fall.
