NFL insider makes "surprising" revelation about Kevin Stefanski's job security amid calls to fire Browns HC

Kevin Stefanski's Cleveland Browns suffered a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. It was Cleveland's 10th loss of the season, which came against the Titans, who had just one win entering Week 14.

On Monday, a league source was asked whether Stefanski might get fired immediately amid Cleveland's struggles. It appears that the Browns are willing to give the coach at least the rest of the regular season to remain in charge.

“I’d be surprised. Might as well ride it out at this point,” the league source said, according to NFL insider Josina Anderson.

A league source earlier this morning giving just one opinion on whether they anticipate any imminent change at #Browns head coach: “I’d be surprised. Might as well ride it out at this point.”

The Browns hired Stefanski in January 2020. He led the team to the playoffs in his first year and even won in the wild-card round. However, Cleveland lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.

The Browns reached the playoffs again in the 2023 season, where they lost to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.

In six years under Stefanski, the Browns have posted four losing seasons. Last season, the Browns finished with a dismal 3-14 record.

Although the Browns have matched their wins from last season with four games remaining, there hasn't been much of an overall improvement.

Kevin Stefanski's Browns will face the Chicago Bears (9-4) in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday. The game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.

On Monday, Stefanski confirmed Shedeur Sanders will be the Browns' QB1 for the rest of the regular season.

"He (Sanders) has constantly and consistently gotten better in each one of these games and how he's approached this game," Stefanski said. "He's been working very hard, so I feel good about where his development is heading. He knows there are always going to be plays that he can be better and those type of things. But he's very intentional about getting better each and every game he's out there."

Sanders is 1-2 as a starter, but will look to get a few more wins under his belt in his rookie season in the coming weeks.
