Kevin Stefanski Named Falcons’ Head Coach
Atlanta has officially welcomed a new head coach to its football team. Kevin Stefanski, previously head coach of the Cleveland Browns, has been named the Falcons’ new leader. This decision was announced by the team on Saturday.
Kevin Stefanski’s Coaching Experience
Kevin Stefanski comes to Atlanta with significant achievements under his belt. He spent the last six seasons with the Cleveland Browns. During his tenure, he remarkably led the team to playoff appearances in 2020 and 2023, marking their first 11-win seasons since 1994.
His success earned him the title of Coach of the Year in both of those seasons. However, the last two seasons in Cleveland were challenging. The Browns recorded losing seasons in 2024 and 2025, culminating in a disappointing 5-12 record, prompting the franchise to seek a new direction.
Falcons’ Coaching Transition
Stefanski steps in following the departure of Raheem Morris, who was relieved of his duties after Week 18. Morris ended his tenure as Falcons coach with an 8-9 record, failing to secure a playoff spot for the eighth consecutive season.
What to Expect in Atlanta
As the new head coach, Stefanski will take charge of a promising roster. Key players include:
- Running back Bijan Robinson
- Wide receiver Drake London
- Defensive safety Jessie Bates
These young talents offer a solid foundation for building a competitive team moving forward. With a commitment of five years, fans are hopeful that Stefanski can replicate his success in Atlanta.
