Despite having a large amount of the team’s salary cap on injured reserve, head coach Kevin Stefanski led the Cleveland Browns to 11 wins and another playoff appearance. Despite this and working with five starting quarterbacks Pro Football Network ranked him as the 15th best play caller in the NFL heading into 2024.
It is ludicrous to rank him down there as he found a way to win with both PJ Walker and a rookie who wasn’t ready to start this year in Dorian Thompson-Robinson who did show improvement down the road. Despite some awful quarterback play, Stefanski found a way to call plays and get enough out of his offense to win 11 games.
The results on the field and the corresponding film don’t match this ranking at all, there are not 14 better playcallers than Stefanski. Most teams would be sunk by losing their starting quarterback but Stefanski rose to the occasion and got the most out of everyone on the field and that is what a great play caller does.
