It’s been over 40 years since the head coach of the Cleveland Browns captured the official NFL Coach of the Year honors. Forrest Gregg in 1976 was the last Browns coach to win the award. But the odds are promising that new head coach Kevin Stefanski could break that prolonged drought.
Stefanski is part of a large group of coaches that sit fifth in the odds at BetMGM. Along with Andy Reid, John Harbaugh (who won in 2019) and others, the Browns rookie coach sits at +2000 to win the prestigious honor.
There are other sportsbooks where Stefanski is above several of the others he’s tied with at BetMGM. He’s tied with Reid, the coach of the reigning Super Bowl winners, in every book checked as of May 27th.
Stefanski has the best odds of any first-year coach, rookie or otherwise. It’s a clear sign the bookmakers believe the Browns were held back by poor coaching a year ago. If Stefanski is the right guy for the job, expect his status to get honored.
