In almost any way, except for the defense, the Cleveland Browns 2025 season was a failure. The team even failed to get the top overall pick after two end-of-the-season victories. The results led to the firing of Kevin Stefanski, who was replaced by Todd Monken.

There were a number of issues with Stefanski’s time with the Browns, some of which were out of his control, as we saw on the NFLPA report cards for the 2024 season:

Locker Room went from a “D+” to an “F-”

Training Room went from a “C+” to a “D+”

Training Staff went from a “B-” to a “C-”

Weight Room went from a “D” to an “A”

Team Travel stayed at a “D”

For the 2025 season, the NFL owners forbade the NFLPA from publishing the reports, but ESPN has gotten its hands on them, and things remained the same for Cleveland last year, with Stefanski graded the worst among head coaches and owner Jimmy Haslam near the bottom:

Monken’s Ravens team gave him a “B-” grade for the 2025 season.

The Browns only “A” grade was given to DC Jim Schwartz, an “A-” grade. Cleveland only had four “B” grades: Home Game Field, Weight Room, Strength Coaches, and Position Coaches.

Here are the Browns overall grades:

Treatment of Families: D-
Home Game Field: B-
Food/Dining Area: D+
Nutritionist/Dietician: C+
Locker Room: F
Training Room: C
Training Staff: C+
Weight Room: B+
Strength Coaches: B+
Position Coaches: B-
Offensive Coordinator: D+
Defensive Coordinator: A-
Special Teams Coordinator: D
Team Travel: D-
Head Coach: C-
General Manager: C
Team Ownership: C
