Cleveland Browns hire Kevin Stefanski as head coach to replace the fired Freddie Kitchens

Kevin Stefanski
CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland Browns have hired 37-year-old Kevin Stefanski to replace the fired Freddie Kitchens, a one season coach who, in mid-season last year, replaced the fired Hue Jackson, who is Black.


A string of probable replacements were considered, and, among others, the Browns also interviewed Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels,  and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who is Arab-American.

A native of Philadelphia, Stefanski joined the Minnesota Vikings in 2006 as an assistant to former head coach Brad Childress.


In 2017, after the termination of Scott Turner, Stefanski was promoted to coach the Vikings quarterbacks, where he helped transform the Vikings into the NFL's 10th-highest scoring offense. Quarterback Case Keenum had his best season under Stefanski, throwing 22 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions. He previously worked with the running backs in 2016 and the tight ends in 2014 and 2015.
After the 2017 season, the New York Giants requested to interview and hire Stefanski as their new offensive coordinator, but Vikings denied the request.

After offensive coordinator John DeFilippo was fired following a 21–7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Stefanski was named interim offensive coordinator.
On January 9, 2019, Stefanski was promoted to full-time offensive coordinator.

He signed with the Browns on Jan 13.

Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
