The Browns Extend the Contracts of HC Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry

BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns have extended the contracts of head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry. The lengths have not been announced.

Stefanski and Berry were both hired in 2020 and have a record of 37-30 with 1 playoff win. Stefanski is a 2x Coach of the Year award winner, winning one in 2020 and the other this past season leading the Browns to a 10-7 record. Stefanski is also the first Cleveland Browns HC to make it to a 5th season since legendary HC Bill Belichick in 1999 he was fired after the ‘99 season for a 5-11 record. Berry helped construct one of the league’s best rosters. From acquiring franchise QB Deshaun Watson, to trading for All-Pro WR Amari Cooper, Berry has done his job.

The Browns released a statement regarding the extension earlier today:

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry leading the Cleveland Browns,” Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a team statement. “Since the day they were hired, each has worked tirelessly to help the Cleveland Browns win. We are proud of what they and the team have achieved, but Kevin and Andrew would be the first to say that Browns fans deserve even more. Their leadership, collaborative approach, and ability to overcome obstacles bode well for the future of this franchise.

“Despite facing multiple player injuries and using five different starting quarterbacks, Andrew and his staff built a roster that adapted well, while Kevin and his staff led the team to its second playoff appearance in four years, earning Coach of the Year honors for the second time in that period. They are two of the brightest people we know, and selfless people who only care about what is best for the Cleveland Browns. We are thrilled that Kevin and Andrew will remain with the team for the future.”

The Cleveland Browns have a lot to look forward to this season. Deshaun Watson is finally healthy, the defense is coming off a historic season, another star WR acquired via trade, and a high-profile OC hire… Buckle up!
