5 years agoThe Cleveland Browns will hire former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach. Stefanski was reportedly the runner-up to failed head coach Freddie Kitchens last offseason and remained a favorite of some in the Cleveland front office, namely chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta. The 37-year-old heads to Cleveland after calling a run-heavy offense for the Vikings for the past year and a half, dutifully carrying out Mike Zimmer's edict to "establish the run" in Minnesota. Look for the analytic-minded Stefanski to call a more even mix of run and pass plays in Cleveland. While it remains to be seen who Stefanski taps as his offensive and defensive coordinators, Cleveland is rumored to be reuniting with Philadelphia Eagles' Vice President Andrew Berry as their new GM just 11 months after he left Cleveland for the Philly job.--Matt T - RotoBaller
