John Harbaugh only had praise for Kevin Stefanski following Monday’s wild game.
Kevin Stefanski showed up in Cleveland this year and has completely turned the franchise around. He has also done all that during the most unique season in NFL history.
Stefanski has the Cleveland Browns at 9-4, which is already the most wins for the team in a season since 2007. His team nearly picked up win No. 10 Monday night, but the Baltimore Ravens offense was just too much.
While fans of both teams are bitter rivals, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had some great things to say to Stefanski following the game. The NFL shared the audio early this week.
Harbaugh was impressed by Stefanski and the Browns
“Hey, that’s one of the greatest games in history right there.” Not a bad thing for Stefanski to hear in his first year as head coach. The Browns didn’t come out on top, but it is clear the head coach has the team headed in the right direction.
Harbaugh went on to bring up the possibility of the two coaches battling it out in the postseason. That remains a possibility given the current standings.
Other coaches around the league have to be impressed with what they are seeing from Stefanski. He opened the season with a blowout loss in Baltimore, and the Browns seemed to be doomed once again. However, he immediately got his team to focus again and now the Browns are 9-4. That is a sentence some fans may have never heard before.
This is a rivalry that should now actually be balanced with Stefanski leading the way in Cleveland. He may have lost to the Ravens twice in the regular season, but Harbaugh is aware the result could change after seeing the Browns put up 42 points Monday night.
