Jerry Jeudy drops blunt response about whether WR expects Kevin Stefanski to remain Browns HC after disastrous season

Questions circle Browns coach Kevin Stefanski's job status after back-to-back seasons that went off the rails. Jerry Juedy gave a straightforward answer when asked about his coach's future in Cleveland.

The wide receiver joined the Browns in 2024 via a trade from Denver. Stefanski has been Cleveland's coach since 2020 and won Coach of the Year twice. The last two seasons have produced a combined seven wins for the franchise.

A reporter asked Jeudy on Wednesday whether he wants Stefanski back next season.

"Yeah, of course," Jeudy said. "Well, you want me to say no? Crazy. Yeah."

Jerry Juedy pointed to one quality that stood out about Kevin Stefanski during the team's struggles.

"He came, he been the same coach since I, since I've been here," Jeudy said. "Through the ups and downs, you know, he never changed. He always stay consistent, you know, and that's all you can ask for from a coach. You know, there's never change. When things aren't going good, just stay the same. When things aren't going bad, he stay the same. So, you know, that's great."

Cleveland (4-12) will play its season finale against Cincinnati (6-10) on Sunday. Stefanski's record is 7-26 across the last two years, although he's 44-56 in six seasons with the franchise.

The Browns gave Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry extensions before the 2024 season after they led Cleveland to two playoff appearances.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Tuesday that the Giants would be interested in Stefanski if Cleveland makes him available. The report also mentioned a trade scenario as a possibility.

Stefanski told reporters on Monday that he's "privileged to have this job." However, he didn't discuss any conversations with ownership about what happens after Sunday's game.
