Stefanski, who has been at the helm since 2020, initially delegated play-calling responsibilities to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey midway through the 2024 season in an effort to spark improvement. Despite this change, the team’s offensive performance remained lackluster, culminating in a 3-14 record and ranking last in total points, averaging just 15.2 points per game.

In conjunction with resuming play-calling duties, Stefanski has made strategic adjustments to his coaching staff. Notably, he promoted tight ends coach and pass game specialist Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator. Rees is expected to collaborate closely with Stefanski to develop a more dynamic and effective offensive system that leverages the strengths of their roster.

Rees expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating, “I’m looking forward to being a part of the process and having an opportunity to lead the offensive staff and lead the offense.” ([clevelandbrowns.com](https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/kevin-stefanski-to-assume-play-calling-duties-again-in-2025?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
The Browns’ decision to revert to Stefanski’s play-calling and the restructuring of the offensive coaching staff underscore the organization’s dedication to reversing their fortunes in the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these changes impact the team’s performance on the field.
