"In Kevin Stefanski, we have found a coach with the right vision, focus and demeanor to lead our team into the future. From all our research and a wonderful visit with him tonight, I believe he is the right coach to take the talent on our roster to a new level and to work with Matt, our new GM and all our football personnel to build on the strong foundation in place and take it to new heights,"
"He followed that 2020 season up with an 8-9 season before the Browns swung the infamous trade for Deshaun Watson; Stefanski would go 7-10 in 2022 and then 11-6 in 2023 with a motley crew of quarterbacks including Watson, Joe Flacco, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, P.J. Walker, and Jeff Driscoll. After that triumph, however, the bottom fell out and the light went out of his eyes on the Browns sideline, with the team going 3-14 and 5-12 in 2024 and 2025. Stefanski was fired by Cleveland at the end of this season."
Kevin Stefanski was hired as the Atlanta Falcons’ 14th full-time head coach after the team interviewed nearly a dozen candidates. Matt Ryan selected Stefanski for his extensive offensive background and prior head-coaching success. Stefanski won NFL Coach of the Year twice and led the Browns to playoffs in 2020 and 2023 despite unstable quarterback play. Cleveland’s performance collapsed to 3-14 and 5-12 in 2024 and 2025, and Stefanski was fired at season’s end. Owner Arthur Blank praised Stefanski’s vision, staff plan and lessons learned in Cleveland and Minnesota. The Falcons expect him to elevate the roster and offense.
