Insider Notes Where Kevin Stefanski Stands On Play-Calling Duties

The Cleveland Browns needed a bit of a change and fresh ideas on offense. That’s why they decided to move on from Alex Van Pelt and replace him with Ken Dorsey, who had been fired midseason by the Buffalo Bills. Notably, this looked like a match made in heaven for all parties involved. Kevin Stefanski’s strength has always been his play-calling, and that’s the only thing from Dorsey’s work that often drew criticism.

In light of this, it should come as no surprise to read a report from Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot indicating that Stefanski is still undecided about giving up his play-calling responsibilities.

Joe Brady took over as the team’s quarterback moving forward after Sean McDermott fired Dorsey, who served as the 5-5 Bills’ fall guy.

However, his work with Cam Newton, who had the best season of his career and won MVP, speaks for itself. He was the quarterback’s coach throughout that time.

During the previous few years with the Bills, he also assisted Josh Allen in developing into one of the finest and most skilled quarterbacks in the game.

It might seem like a natural move for Stefanski to give up play-calling duties at this stage of his head coaching career.

However, earlier in the season, they might have adopted a different strategy, utilizing Dorsey’s prowess as a quarterback guru and allowing Stefanski to direct the offense using his playbook.

In either event, the Browns should benefit from this hire.
