His adjustment during the game and the way he manages the clock before the half ends is superb the last few games.

What else can we say about Kevin Stefanski?

It's early, but it sure seems like he's could be our Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay.

A smart, calm, organized coach who also happens to be a really dynamic play caller with a multi-layered offensive scheme that he wholeheartedly believes in.

Plus it seems like he has a real eye for coaching talent, bringing in two of the very best offensive position coaches in all of football in Bill Callahan and Chad O'Shea.

I rather he be our Sean Payton. Good looking, young offensive minded head coach who rejuvenates a young QB and makes us perennial threats every year for 15+ years and brings us 1 if not more SB titles.

The Woods hire too. Take away the kickoff return and the Colts had 16 points.
 
Love Kevski.

I do think he has a slight tendency to take his foot off the gas. There are times when it's obvious the defense is gonna sell out on the run and a hard PA would destroy their souls, but we end up running right into their arms over and over. We did it tonight, we did it during the Dallas game.

That's honestly the only criticism I have of him right now. That's it - which is pretty scary. He does so much so well. Even the small stuff like running up to the line and trying to draw them offsides (even though we're planning on kicking a field goal) shows just how dedicated he is to the smallest of details.

It feels so good to know that our coaching won't hold us back - now it's on the players to keep executing.

I don’t think he trusts baker which he probably shouldn’t

thats y he avoids throwing when he thinks he can

The Browns not wasting timeouts and challenges has been helping them really dominate at the end of halfs.

Flat out, he outcoached Frank Reich yesterday, and I think Reich is a top 5 or 10 coach in the NFL

I've noticed numerous times that we get to the end of a half and still have all or most of our timeouts. Also, the offense never seems rushed to get a play off in time. These things matter.

Everything just feels competent when the Browns have the ball and I mean that as a major compliment.

Plays get in on time. Guys know where they’re supposed to be lined up and who they’re supposed to block on every play. They don’t commit a lot of penalties.

The route combinations are good. Down and distance is usually considered. Plays called earlier in the game set up other plays later in the game.

When the Browns are on offense, their plays typically only fail when a player individually loses their matchup and almost never because someone didn’t know what they were supposed to be doing which is a sign for a well coached team to me.
 
Here’s a little thing...

The Browns were called for illegal formation/illegal shift 9 times last year under Freddie.

The year before under Hue and Gregg the Browns got called for illegal formation/shift 12 times.

This year? Zero times in five games.

And think about that penalty. That is literally making sure the correct number of players are on the line of scrimmage and also making sure two guys aren’t in motion at the same time at the snap. What should be as simple of a penalty as possible to avoid.

There’s just far less confusion when the Browns have the ball. They very rarely kill drives with their own mistakes compared to previous incarnations.

And for the second straight week we kick a FG and don't give the opposition enough time to score afterwrds. And with the pick 6, we ended up scoring on the first drive of the 2nd half. In 2 games where it got tight at then end, that's huge.

It's particularly impressive in that he also is calling his own plays. That's a lot of balls to have in the air without dropping one. Must be fantastic at working with his subordinates to keep himself on track.
