CLEVELAND, Ohio — Kevin Stefanski didn\u2019t have time to ponder what went wrong and what he could\u2019ve done differently with the Browns after they fired him on Monday morning. <\/p>\n
One of the hottest head coaching candidates on the market this cycle, Stefanski already has interviews scheduled this week with the Giants and and Titans, who fired their head coaches during the season.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s meeting with the Giants on Wednesday and the Titans on Saturday, according to multiple reports. <\/p>\n
The Giants parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start, and the Titans fired Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start. <\/p>\n
Stefanski has also drawn interest from the Falcons, who fired Raheem Morris on Black Monday.<\/p>\n
Stefanski, a two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year, was fired after a 45-56 record in his six seasons, including a 5-12 mark this year.<\/p>\n
In New York, he\u2019d work with quarterback Jaxson Dart, whom he got to know and like at the Senior Bowl last year and during the pre-draft process.<\/p>\n
Dart, who missed games with a concussion, went 4-8 but threw 15 touchdowns against only five interceptions en route to a 91.7 rating.<\/p>\n
In Tennessee, he\u2019d coach No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, whom he also got to know and liked well during the pre-draft process. Ward was the only quarterback the Browns could\u2019ve taken with their No. 2 pick in the draft if the Titans had passed on him. <\/p>\n
He went 3-14 with 15 TDs and seven interceptions en route to a 80.2 rating. <\/p>\n
At the NFL Combine, Stefanski was impressed with his meeting with Ward, with whom the Browns also conducted a private visit and brought him in for a top 30 visit. <\/p>\n
\u201cJust his career, where he has been, has been a unique path but knows football really well,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cWas very impressed with his meeting in terms of his recalls back to his Washington State days how he saw defenses, how he progressed, and how his processing worked. He could talk through all of that. I was very impressed with the young man.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Stefanski\u2019s interview with the Giants was scheduled, the Ravens fired 18-year coach John Harbaugh on Tuesday, and he emerged as a leading candidate for the Giants job too. <\/p>\n
If Stefanski wants it, he might want to knock his Wednesday interview out of the park.Stefanski has also drawn interest from the Falcons, who fired <\/p>\n
