Even with an impressive rookie class, the team fell well short of expectations this season.<\/p>\n<p>After watching a large sample size, Daryl Ruiter believes it\u2019s time for real change.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on 92.3 The Fan, Ruiter argued that the Browns need a full reset at the top.<\/p>\n<p>That includes moving on from general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski, signaling what he sees as the best path forward for the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been here now 6 years, they\u2019ve had 2 good years. The rest has been slop, it\u2019s unwatchable.

Even if Kevin Stefanski isn\u2019t a bad coach or even if he was given a bad hand, he\u2019s been in charge of the team for six years, and they have nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n<p>Their only playoff win came in the COVID season, and the Browns only have two winning seasons under Stefanki\u2019s tutelage. Not many head coaches would be able to survive consecutive three-win seasons, and even Bill Belichick was shown the door once he stopped winning.<\/p>\n<p>Stefanski was supposed to be an offensive guru, but the Browns have ranked near the bottom in most offensive categories in five out of six years with him at the helm.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not even a matter of whether he\u2019s a good coach or not at this point. Things may have run their course, and even he may benefit from taking his talents somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, he\u2019s getting paid to coach a winning football team.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, that hasn\u2019t been the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After another disappointing season, 92.3 The Fan\u2019s Daryl Ruiter says it\u2019s time for the Browns to move on from Kevin Stefanski.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
