Mike Jones of The Athletic wrote about the situation this past weekend, noting that the Browns will consider multiple paths as they look to revive the organization.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jones, some believe Haslam is ready to \u201cclean house.\u201d There are other league insiders who believe GM <strong>Andrew<\/strong> <strong>Berry<\/strong> may be safe while head coach <strong>Kevin<\/strong> <strong>Stefanski<\/strong> will be the lone scapegoat for another lost season. The duo was added ahead of the 2020 campaign and immediately guided the Browns to the playoffs for the first time since 2002. The team hovered around .500 over the next two years before another playoff appearance in 2023. However, the team has bottomed out over the past year-plus, compiling a 6-22 record.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Zk2hE4TFCIuLqvXMGfmwfg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQyNztjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/the_sporting_tribune_articles_423\/3a5534f78a3b3069a68104bab53647dc\" alt=\"TST Images: Browns defeat Raiders, 24-10, at Allegiant Stadium - Yahoo  Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The head coach\u2019s hot seat isn\u2019t overly surprising. While Stefanski has earned a pair of Coach of the Year awards since joining Cleveland, he still has a losing record in five-plus seasons with the organization. While the team\u2019s revolving door at QB hasn\u2019t helped the coach\u2019s cause, the offensive-minded Stefanski has also struggled recently to get that unit on track, leading to him handing over offensive play-calling duties in each of the past two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Berry\u2019s situation is a bit more unique. As Jones writes, there\u2019s a belief that the general manager may have had more recent success if not for the \u201cmeddlesome ways of ownership.\u201d This obviously includes the Deshaun Watson acquisition and the subsequent commitment of $230MM in guaranteed money. Perhaps Haslam will be willing to give his top executive an opportunity to clean up the mess, although that may also require the owner to acknowledge that he played a key role in the team\u2019s recent demise.<\/p>\n<p>The front office is already seeing a bit of a transition, as longtime Chief Strategy Officer <strong>Paul<\/strong> <strong>DePodesta<\/strong> returned to Major League Baseball as the Colorado Rockies head of baseball operations. Albert Breer of SI.com recently wrote that DePodesta\u2019s Cleveland role was always \u201cmysterious,\u201d although he did work extensively with Berry. Breer adds that the Browns organization isn\u2019t expected to replace DePodesta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Browns could consider &#8220;cleaning house&#8221; following another losing season.
