Kevin Stefanski will let Alex Van Pelt call plays in preseason on a trial basis

One of the more pressing questions for new Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is, who will call the offensive plays for the team? Stefanski is a former offensive coordinator who earned the job in part because of calling the plays for the Minnesota Vikings. Yet new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has also had success calling plays in the NFL.

At his scouting combine press conference on Tuesday, Stefanski didn’t provide a clear answer as to who will call the plays. But the rookie coach did indicate that Van Pelt will get a chance to prove himself as a play-caller during practices and the preseason.

Stefanski referred to the decision as a “fluid situation” and that a determination might not be made until late in the preseason, depending on how the trials with Van Pelt calling the plays worked out.
