A talking point all offseason long was who would be the playcaller for the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has called plays over the first four seasons of his stay in Cleveland, and he will not fix what is not broken.
There was speculation that part of the reason that Ken Dorsey was hired as the offensive coordinator of the Browns would be so that Stefanski could step back and hand off play calling. However, after the Browns’ first training camp practice in The Greenbrier in West Virginia, the reigning NFL Coach of the Year has put the issue to bed.
Even after Stefanski got his added security in the form of a contract extension, he has announced that he will retain play-calling duties in 2024.
This should not be surprising as Stefanski has won two NFL Coach of the Year awards in the last four years, predominantly due to his brilliance as a playcaller and game manager. Dorsey was brought in to marry their two systems, a task that is still very much at hand.
