The Cleveland Browns wrapped up a tumultuous season, ending with a disappointing 5-12 record, which placed them at the bottom of the AFC North. It’s been a challenging year, marked by the use of three different quarterbacks.
In a significant move, the team has parted ways with Kevin Stefanski, a two-time NFL Coach of the Year, and now attention shifts to who might step in as the new head coach.
General manager Andrew Berry has a lot on his plate, and one pressing question is whether Shedeur Sanders will be the answer to the team’s quarterback situation moving forward.
Myles Garrett, known for his impressive defensive skills and for leading the league in sacks, represents the team’s potential. Still, the priority seems to be finding a suitable replacement for Stefanski.
DraftKings has put together a list of potential candidates, spanning from current coordinators to experienced coaches who have previously secured Super Bowl victories.
Cleveland Browns Next Head Coach Odds
| Coach | Odds |
|---|---|
| Chris Shula | +450 |
| Kliff Kingsbury | +600 |
| Joe Brady | +700 |
| Jim Schwartz | +700 |
| Brian Flores | +700 |
| Robert Saleh | +750 |
| Tod Monken | +800 |
| Jesse Minter | +850 |
| Clint Kubiak | +900 |
| Deion Sanders | 20/1 |
Currently, Chris Shula, the Rams’ defensive coordinator, stands out as the leading candidate, boasting odds of +450 according to DraftKings. He has made a name for himself alongside Sean McVay, progressing from linebackers coach to coordinator and contributing to the Rams’ top-ranked defense.
Next in line is Kliff Kingsbury, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. His odds are +600. Despite having some success at Arizona, where he coached from 2019 to 2022, he faced challenges and was let go.
There’s also Joe Brady, the former offensive coordinator for the Bills, who is clocking in with +700 odds. Having previously guided Joe Burrow and the LSU offense to a national championship, Brady’s experience at the collegiate level is noteworthy.
Brian Flores, currently with the Vikings, is another contender with +700 odds. He has a strong defensive background and a history with Bill Belichick’s notable coaching staff during the Patriots’ winning era.
Jim Schwartz, the current defensive coordinator for the Browns, is also in the mix with +700 odds. However, his previous head coaching record with the Lions raises some eyebrows about whether he’s the best fit.
Lastly, there’s the intriguing possibility of Deion Sanders, recognized as Shedeur’s father and the Colorado head coach, carrying odds of 20/1 to take over the reins in Cleveland.
