\t\t\tKevin Stefanski Responds To Baker Mayfield
\nJanuary 28th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Old coach doesn\u2019t fire back.<\/p>\n

So last week Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield unloaded<\/a> on new Dixie Chicks coach Kevin Stefanski on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Mayfield and Stefanski are not sending each other Christmas cards. The two had a falling out of some sort when Stefanski coached Mayfield with the Browns. The relationship did not end well.<\/p>\n

And Mayfield doesn\u2019t forget. So yesterday, Stefanski had his first press conference in Atlanta as the new leader of the Dixie Chicks. Rather than firing back at Mayfield for calling him out on Twitter, Stefanski played Mr. Nice Guy<\/a>, as documented by Maura Carey of the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaker\u2019s somebody that I have a ton of respect for as a player and a person,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cI love rivalries in sports and obviously the Buccaneers (and) Falcons have a great rivalry. It\u2019s something that I\u2019m excited about, but I would not get into the specifics of those types of things other than to say I have a ton of respect for Baker as a player, as a person. That\u2019s a great team with a great player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Damn. Joe was hoping Stefanski would make some sort of snide comment at Mayfield or at the Bucs. Bucs drama is good for a late-January day when the Tampa Bay region is bracing for \u201cGulf Effect Snow<\/a>\u201d this weekend.<\/p>\n

So, Joe wonders if Mayfield can bottle up his anger at Stefanski for another eight months, at least?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Stefanski Responds To Baker Mayfield January 28th, 2026 Old coach doesn\u2019t fire back.
