Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski: A Dynamic Duo Leading the Browns to Success
When head coach Kevin Stefanski and Executive Vice President and General Manager Andrew Berry were hired in 2020, they formed a partnership that has reshaped the Cleveland Browns. Now, four years later, the duo has been extended by the Browns organization, highlighting the trust and faith they have earned.
Since taking over, Berry and Stefanski have led the Browns to a 37-30 record, the highest winning percentage for the team in a four-year span since 1986-89. They have also reached the playoffs twice, in 2020 and 2023, with the latter season resulting in an 11-6 record and a trip to the postseason.
Stefanski’s coaching prowess has been recognized with his inclusion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for recording multiple seasons with at least 11 regular-season wins, a feat only matched by Paul Brown in team history. Berry, on the other hand, has made key moves like contract extensions for star players and strategic acquisitions to strengthen the team’s roster.
The support and backing of ownership, particularly from Managing and Principal Partners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, have played a crucial role in the success of Berry and Stefanski. The duo’s partnership has been lauded for its professionalism and personal respect, paving the way for continued growth and success for the Browns in the upcoming season.
