Stefanski Introductory Press Conference
-
Stephanski nailed it. He's far, far smarter and cooler than arrogant self centered Hue, and Good ole boy Kitchens.
Kevin seems like the right hc.
"Analytics is just a tool".
I love that. and, he has a fine sense of humor in how he answered the usual stupid questions from "reporters" like MKC and a few others.

My Best Friend is in Heaven.
He was a life-long Vikings fan. And because I liked the Browns, he liked the Browns. He watched them, he'd talk Browns with me, text Browns with me, etc. And it didn't matter if we were 0-16, he would talk Browns with me. (who does that?)
He and I watched together on TV the Browns - Vikings game in London.....not knowing that within a month he would be gone. (he brought the coffee and I supplied the breakfast pastries)
I'm going on the premise that he sent us Stefanski, each year, until we hired him because Kevin Stefanski is FINALLY the guy to bring stability to the Browns.
.....I sure do miss him....
Go Browns!

And if you don't listen to the whole thing at least spend a minute with this piece of the presser...
Especially you, Dutch...

Did he mention how excited he is at the prospect of getting paid for five year's worth of work, but only having to work 2 years?

I wasn't at all enthused about the Freddie hire. I like this guy.. I'm optimistic

That kind of thing goes without saying... I know... it was only two years of free money in my case, but I took it... and retired.
Don't you feel better knowing there's no Friday "Analytics" meeting?

Nope.
This was all a sham.
We'll be doing this same song and dance in 3 years tops. I say three years because I'm convinced DePodesta has photos of Jimmy blowing goats.

There's a wager in our future... up to you whether it's friendly or not.

Meanwhile the reviews are in...
Did Kevin Stefanski win his first press conference with the Cleveland Browns?
Here's my favorite reply...
Hayden Grove: The Browns move to 9-1 in introductory head coach press conferences since 1999, with Pat Shurmur remaining the lone loss. That said, Stefanski’s performance was impressive, especially given the general disenchantment from the Browns fan base upon his hiring. Maybe it was his piercing eyes or full, salt-and-pepper beard, but Stefanski made a statement on Tuesday, displaying intelligence, humility, confidence and a seeming willingness to put winning and working ahead of all.

I won't lie, I liked the Freddie hire. I bought into the second half of the season and how we played better and almost stuck it to Baltimore at the end. We played fast, together, and had fun. Boy was I wrong.
Now, there's no such thing as "winning an press conference" but I sure liked what this guy had to say!

Admittedly, I previously had an ignorant perception of analytics & this hire. I learned a hell of a lot after listening to both Stefanski's & DePodesta's pressers. Both gave me "meat & potatoes" answers that were easily understood & professionally/intelligently presented.
Color me "SOLD". I want to see the rest of the staff (officially), but Jimmy (who has always wanted a winner & been willing to change) may have hit on these 2 guys.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
He lost a lot of weight.
You ain’t lying.... I heard he is on that Rob Lowe Atkins thing

What sells me is looking at the seasons players like Kirk Cousins and Stefon Diggs had. Cousins had like the 4th best statistical season in the league and he's obviously not the 4th best QB. Diggs averaged 10 yards a catch 2 years ago and this year averaged 18. This has to do with Stefanski and his play-action passing game. They ran the ball a bunch and then passed out of running formations. Just like the 49's. We have the personnel to run it.

It was the normal, neither good nor bad. Haslam’s presser is what shook me. The fact he owns a billion dollar business baffles me. He seems like a dumb version of Jerry Jones and that is saying something
-
-“multiple” on offense. I like it. “Dynamic in the run game”. Yes!!! He has some tools to work with here
-also hinted at using the playmakers we have which something Kitchens failed at.
-his system and systems he’s been working under are very QB friendly. Great! Putting Baker in shotgun and making him a playmaker - not his game at the professional level. Baker had some of his best games last season throwing 30 passes all game.
-my original criticism just one franchise one perspective for 14 years. I’ve changed my mind I think it’s impressive that he’s held on and been with the same franchise through multiple regime changes. He’s left a good enough impression to be a holdover
good start...now show us all the Browns finally got this right

The stage was not too big for him. He looks and sounds like a guy that you'd like as a face of your team. - I hope he's a good coach. We don't want any more 18 penalty games.

And you can see parallels in the skill sets of Vikes/Browns skill positions...
Baker/Cousins... OBJ/Diggs... Landry/Theilen... Chubb/Cook...
Analogy falls apart some at TE, but Rudolph's game is in decline so gap is not huge...
Then there's the OL... where the gap is a bit bigger.
