Andrew Berry Gets Honest About Browns Future
It has been a while since the Browns have enjoyed any success on the football field. They have only qualified for the postseason twice since 2020, which has some fans believing that major changes could be coming this offseason. Most notably moving on from Kevin Stefanski as head coach. However, ahead of their matchup against the Broncos, Browns GM Andrew Berry reassured his confidence in Stefanski.
"I'll be honest, neither of us really think of it that way," he said.
"I'd say number one, to myself, I always view myself as a steward of the organization in this role and really my focus is on doing the things that are in my control, short term and long term, to make sure it's in the best interest of the franchise. ... Kevin's an outstanding coach and he's absolutely part of the solution with everything."
