Kevin Stefanski addressed the media via Zoom on January 6, 2021. Kevin discussed his confidence in Mike Priefer as acting coach, Alex Van Pelt's strengths as a play caller, the team's resilience, and how they will prepare for this Sunday's Wild Card round against the Steelers in his absence.

I feel like we can figure this out. We just need to put our head down and grind, it might be a benefit not having film on our play caller.
@Boaz Cheung thought he was out too
@JR Howard Nope
@JR Howard dang you scared me so hard for a quick second there
@Boaz Cheung I’m thinking of Callahan u was talm bout AVP my bad
Atleast we found out early this time
This our coach….best we’ve had since 99. Win or lose, we are set for greatness next year…win Sunday, let’s keep this going!
@Jfoster we have grant delpt whose gonna be back next year we just need one elite vet line backer who the other backs can lean on and a corner on the other side of Denzel
@Jfoster and move greedy to free safety
@Jfoster torn achilles is a devastating injury. Not sure how effective OV will be
@Jfoster 1 more safety
@Christopher Art no two lol redwine ain’t it and delpit wouldn’t be the same coming back we need two more.
NFL needs to postpone this game, but wait Pittsburgh isn’t the one with the outbreak so let’s still play
Right! Bet if it was tomlin n Ben they’d postpone it
I think this outbreak started before the jets game and the NFL was stubborn about it and didn’t care to postpone the that game
@Salik Hasan Very true.
We got this what kevien said we need to find a way to win we have to run the ball
It’s so good to have a grown man in charge. Be Well. Go Browns!
Edit: sweet sweet continuity at hc & qb.
Edit2: way2 rub salt in the wound, Mary kay.
Lol, edit3, no different from the rest of America, the browns are dealing with it. We need to win 4 sure, keep moving forward. It’s a big Game. However, let’s keep in perspective that ppl r dying and it can get worse, or it can get better. Keep moving forward.
I could just see how hurt Stefanski was saying that he doesn’t know how he got it.
He looks really sick. Every guy in this sport that has tested “positive” isn’t even sick.
This whole thing continues to be a joke..
I hate it for him. Every conference he talked about how hard they were trying to comply to the leagues guidelines and then he contracts it
@Lorraine Hess because it’s mostly the group of people expected to be asymptomatic. Most are young athletes, they are the fittest group of people in the whole country.
Clown show
Dang- not gonna lie- that kinda hit me watching him answer that question- Prayers up Coach.
We are playing with house money at this point. The Steelers are supposed to beat us now. We have nothing to lose. We made the playoffs. And just because Stefanski won’t be there doesn’t mean he’s not gonna be apart of the game plan. It’s not like he’s just gonna take the week off.
Thank you for being the one that actually sounds sarmt
I love this guy. Just something about him
It’s ok coach Stefanski can’t be there for the game, but his heart mind soul will be with the Browns and Baker will play his best game to win this Sunday game and will see coach Stefanski with JB plus other coaches staff
I’m glad to here from Kevin
I feel so bad for coach and the guys that can’t play this week. 1st time in 18 years and they have to miss it. It sucks! Typical Murphy’s/ Cleveland law. Its never easy. Still have hope that we can pull this off. Go Browns!
Going into today I was pretty nervous but seeing Kevin remain calm and composed under this crazy nature makes me reaffirm that Baker and the Browns are ready for this moment.
The good news is that Kevin will have the game plan ready! They are communicating very well. I feel that Kevin is ready and the Browns are ready for this moment to SHOCK THE WORLD ON SUNDAY.
@Jeffery Laux yeah we need to start running the ball 2nd half more
Uh it doesn’t matter lol we don’t have a left guard against one of the best defensive lines in the league. I don’t care how calm they are our offense most likely won’t be able to do anything.
@Michael White we have good blocking tight ends and RBs that can buff our weakness at guard, if you spread Pittsburgh’s defense out it can help ease the pass rush. It’s harder but this is still possible.
@Josh Z Browns will need a healthy dose of screens and quick passes to make it work. Definitely need to stick to the run and point the right side of the line. It can be done, but the D needs to be able to give them a chance.
I’m confident we will win
Definition of a leader. Take the blame and let the others take the credit. that is a LEADER anyone will follow into battle.
This city is extremely fortunate to have Coach Stefanski as our coach. We finally got the right fit. He’s our guy!!!
man im crying now
Coach, it waa great seeing you on video. Congrats on what you have done with this team this year. You have captured the hearts of the players, coaches, the city, the state and others across the nation. You made us happy again and to also believe. We believe in you and our great team. I honestly believe we have a good chance of winning the Big Show this year.
Cleveland media: 85% stupid questions. Well handled by a great coach.
Cleveland will shock the world book it
Browns will win this game for the coach… Let’s go!
