It's easy to understand why a fanbase would be so frustrated with the Cleveland Browns. After going through 1-31, they've seen improvement, won a playoff game with Baker Mayfield Zach Eflin Jersey only to then falter and trade for Deshaun Watson, a controversial pivot to say the least. Even with Watson on the team, the fanbase has effectively been asked to wait another season, an all too familiar refrain from an organization that hasn't won a championship since 1964.That frustration is continually turning its focus the the team's head coach, Kevin Stefanski, as some fans and even media have suggested his seat should be warming if they aren't outright calling for him to be fired.If one was going to come up with the qualities nece sary to be a good head coach in the NFL, what would that look like and how does Stefanski measure up?1. Ability to Maximize the Quarterback PositionFar and away the most important thing the head coach of any NFL team must get right is quarterback. Not only being able to effectively coach it, but consistently showing the ability to highlight their strengths and put them in position to succeed. It's the most important position in this sport and arguably any team sport. Every coach that has been fired since the Browns came back in 1999 was fired for their inability to find a quarterback or develop one. The last two coaches in Browns history that were able to maximize the position were Bill Belichick and Marty Schottenheimer.Jacoby Bri sett is a journeyman. He is currently enjoying the best season of his career even if only slightly. The Browns record may not be great, but in several games, Bri sett had the ball with a chance to win. Plays were there to be executed and it didn't happen consistently, none of which changes the fact that Bri sett was put in positions to succeed and win.Baker Mayfield was outstanding in 2020. No amount of revisionist history is going to change that. Stefanski again was able to put him in positions to succeed. That year, the quarterback play Larry Andersen Jersey was better and games that have been lost this year were won that year, which led them to the postseason and a playoff victory.Personal i sues aside, Deshaun Watson has exceptional ability at the quarterback position. If you don't believe Mayfield was a good quarterback, then you have to give even more credit to Stefanski. Even if you believe Mayfield was a gifted quarterback, you can still appreciate what Stefanski has been able to do with Bri sett. Watson is watching these games and has to be chomping at the bit to play in this offense because he sees how often receivers are schemed open and how often he would be put in position to excel.That goes hand in hand with the staff's ability to call plays. It's year three. It cannot be dismi sed as a fluke just how effective Stefanski's staff has been able to put together game plans and set up plays during games. In three of their seven games this season, the Browns have scored a touchdown on their opening drive. In two of those games, the Browns scored touchdowns on their first two drives. 12 teams in the NFL have 21 points or fewer in the entire first quarter. 22 teams including the Buffalo Bills have 35 points or fewer in the first quarter. The Arizona Cardinals have just 6.There are critics who argue Jimmy Foxx Jersey that Stefanski is a good offensive coordinator and simultaneously should give up play calling. The Browns play calling is a collaborative proce s. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is one of several coaches who contribute and undoubtedly will call some of the plays, even if it's just to start drives as Stefanski is keeping tabs on other aspects of the games and making tactical decisions. Those coaches were heavily involved in the game planning proce s, so they know what the team was trying to do for the week. They are also the group who is working on adjustments during the game as Stefanski oversees the rest of the team. Regardle s of who is calling the plays, the Browns are good at it.There are always going to be play calls that a coach wishes they had back. Stefanski isn't Andy Reid. Reid is also 24 years older and has been a head coach 19 more seasons than Stefanski. Sean Payton was a head coach for 15 years with the New Orleans Saints. Some fans want to believe the Browns can get Payton, but ignore the fact that he would have to want to come here and the Browns would have to for him. That's going to be pretty difficult when they've given up so many a sets for Watson. Those are two coaches with endle s experience in the job. It's bizarre that people seem to ignore the fact that Jean Segura Jersey Stefanski is only going to get better with time and reps. He's already shown that as he's been able to keep his offense a step ahead against defenses trying to stop him, especially within the division.The 3rd-and-2 call against the Baltimore Ravens was the right call in the situation. The Ravens defense loaded up to stop the run. Amari Cooper was lined up against Marcus Peters, a corner the Browns had already beaten deep twice in the game including earlier in the same. He had no safety help. The Browns went with that call on third down because they were planning to go for it on 4th-and-2.You don't call a play worrying about the po sibility of offensive pa s interference any more than you do holding on a running play. It's an unfortunate result, but it's about the proce s. The play was there to be made and would've given the Browns the lead. That was their priority. Any concerns about draining the clock were a distant second. Points were there to be had, so they went for it.The needle s obse sion on Nick Chubb's carries is a waste of time and energy. Not only do the Browns do research into sports science and figuring out the exact point when Chubb traditionally wears down in games, which is helpful both within a single game, but also in allowing Chubb to be at his best in year five with no signs of slow down. Amari Cooper has been great for the Browns this year and is being paid $60 million over the next three years. If they can't go to him in a clutch situation, why bother acquiring him in the first place?No one's complaining about Cesar Hernandez Jersey Cooper's targets. In previous years, when the Browns were losing, there were complaints Odell Beckham Jr. wasn't being targeted enough. The focus should be on the bigger picture, the offense as a whole, which is consistently creating opportunities to be succe sful.Did the Browns get the look they wanted against the Ravens defense on 3rd-and-2? Absolutely. Single coverage against their best receiver by a corner they've already found repeated succe s. If Cooper catches the ball, people talk about Stefanski having the stones to be aggre sive and go for the win.Were the Browns out of downs in the event it was unsucce sful? No. Whether the penalty was called or not, the Browns had another play to pick up the first down.2. Staffing HiresA common refrain in criticizing Stefanski, people continue to despise defensive coordinator Joe Woods and special team
