The passion for football courses through the veins of Northeast Ohio in a manner that is unique to that of any other region. Our fan base’s devotion to the Browns is the catalyst for such affection for the sport.

It is for that reason that I am excited to partner with Kevin Stefanski — a coach I know our city will embrace because of his leadership skills, work ethic, humility, and character — to work tirelessly and with immediate urgency toward building a winning organization that will make the people of Cleveland proud.”
