After crossing numerous milestones for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has won NFL Coach of the Year for the second time in four years.
Going up against the likes of Houston Texans’ head coach Demeco Ryans and Detriot Lions’ head coach Dan Campbell, Stefanski takes home the hardware despite losing the PFWA vote to Ryans last month.
Leading the Browns through a great deal of adversity in 2023, Stefanski kept the team focused despite the loss of key players like running back Nick Chubb, right tackle Jack Conklin, and quarterback Deshaun Watson for the majority of the season.
Most notably, the Browns saw 26 percent of their salary wind up on Injured Reserve, starting five different quarterbacks (and winning with four of them) en route to clinching an 11-win season and a playoff berth.
Stefanski also won the award in 2020, leading the Browns to their first playoff berth since the 2002 season. For the first time since their return in 1999, the Browns have a beacon of consistency and continuity within the building.
Congratulations, Coach!
