The curious timing of Browns coach Kevin Stefanski’s decision to give up play calling

New York Times  

CLEVELAND — Let’s see if I have this right … The Browns fired their offensive coordinator from last year and scrapped a quarterback-under-center/play-action system that was working just fine so they could build a shotgun/spread attack more suited to their franchise quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who never really played like a franchise quarterback here. Stefanski announced Wednesday he’s relinquishing the play-calling duties he has held since he arrived as head coach in 2020.
