Just months after the Cleveland Browns extended the contracts of GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski, the team faces a tough situation.
With a disappointing 2-7 record, Cleveland has become one of the NFL’s biggest letdowns, sparking frustration among fans and former players.
Browns legend Hanford Dixon recently joined the conversation.
On “The Hanford Dixon Show,” he gave a thoughtful but pointed view on the team’s leadership. “I’m not saying we’re going to fire Stefanski, or that we should fire Stefanski or Berry. But I guarantee there’s talk about it…
When a team has only won two games, those conversations need to happen,” Dixon said. His words resonate, especially given the timing; the contract extensions had suggested stability and confidence in the team’s direction.
Yet, in Week 10, the Browns have only two wins, highlighting a stark gap between expectations and results.
Dixon’s main point revolves around the team’s heavy investment in its roster.
With so much money dedicated to talent, a 2-7 record is far from acceptable.
Though he didn’t explicitly call for change, Dixon acknowledged that firings could be on the table.
Cleveland’s situation reflects a common NFL dilemma: how long should teams stick with leadership through tough stretches?
While Berry and Stefanski may not be in immediate danger, the mounting pressure and poor performance have fueled conversations about the team’s future.
For now, the Browns must navigate the rest of a challenging season, as speculation continues about possible changes at the top.
