NFL fans react as Kevin Stefanski gets spotted traveling to New York for Giants HC interview


Kevin Stefanski has begun his job search foe the 2026 season, and his first destination has fans retching.

On Tuesday, a day after being fired from the Cleveland Browns, the six-year head coach was reported to be interviewing with the New York Giants on Wednesday. Tik Tok personality The Skoo even posted this photograph of him at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, awaiting his flight to New York:

And there was much negativity towards the development:

@AdamSchefter Giants are addicted to losing

@AdamSchefter Giants hes toxic coach! Next I take kliff kingsbury if im giants.

@AdamSchefter Giants want that top pick in 2027. 😤

@AdamSchefter Why do the Giants always make the worst coaching decisions?

@AdamSchefter Giants really saw what happened in Cleveland and said yeah give me some of that. We are finished.

@AdamSchefter Hey Giants fans – Get ready for run plays on every first down, passes always short of the sticks, an embarrassing amount of pre-snap penalties, and the same 4 phrases in every single press conference.

Stefanski is not the only AFC North castoff eyeing the Giants job. Mere hours after he was fired by the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh emerged as a leading candidate, with The Athletic’s Ian O’Connor tipping him to “hurdle” his former divisional rival.

As we sit here right now, I think Kevin Stefanski is the leader in the Giants clubhouse. The team has had internal conversations about John Harbaugh, as you would expect, in case he leaves the Ravens. Harbaugh would hurdle Stefanski if he’s free.

And speaking of the Ravens, the Browns have reached out to offensive coordinator Todd Monken for their head coaching vacancy.

Sources: #Ravens OC Todd Monken has received a request to be interviewed for the #Browns HC job. He received multiple requests last year and should again.

The Giants are not the only team eyeing Stefanski’s services, however.

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reported that the Tennessee Titans would be hosting him for an interview on Saturday. They are already scheduled to speak with Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo on Wednesday:

Former #Browns coach Kevin Stefanski will interview with the #Titans on Sat. Browns would’ve drafted Cam Ward at No.2 if he somehow fell there.

In a bit of backstory, Stefanski is said to have been heavily involved in the scouting of current Titans quarterback Cam Ward. He had worked closely with vice-president of player personnel Dan Saganey, who was also his colleague in Cleveland until the end of the 2024 season.

Kevin Stefanski predicted to land with NFC South franchise

Meanwhile, USA Today’s Nick Brinkerhoff predicted Kevin Stefanski joining the Atlanta Falcons, who are in the midst of a massive organizational shakeup that involved firing Raheem Morris:

“Atlanta has an established crop of skill position players in a division that is winnable every year. Between that and Atlanta’s lack of a general manager, the former Browns coach could step into a situation with a clean slate and win right away.

“The quarterback situation is far from solved, but this is a home run hire if Stefanski is a believer in Michael Penix Jr. … Stefanski would likely welcome the idea of calling plays for Bijan Robinson and Drake London – a pair of players the Browns didn’t have during his tenure in Cleveland.”

The new league year begins on March 11.
