BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns are planning to hire Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski as their head coach, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Stefanski, 37, will replace Freddie Kitchens, whom the Browns fired on Dec. 29 after only one season and a 6-10 record. Stefanski was a finalist for the Cleveland job last year, as well, before the team promoted Kitchens from interim offensive coordinator instead.

NFL Network first reported the Browns' plan to hire Stefanski.

The Vikings fell 27-10 to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional playoffs on Saturday, clearing the way for Cleveland to officially move forward with Stefanski.

The Browns met with eight candidates, including 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. They also interviewed Mike McCarthy, whom the Dallas Cowboys later hired to be their head coach, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and New England Patriots offensive Josh McDaniels.

The Browns did not overreact to Saturday's performance of Stefanski's offense, which managed just 147 yards of total offense and allowed six sacks.

Stefanski becomes the franchise's 18th head coach all-time, but already the 12th, including interim head coaches, since the Browns returned to the NFL in 1999. Stefanski will also be the fifth head coach that owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have hired since purchasing the team in 2012.

The Haslams are still searching for a new general manager to pair with Stefanski in the wake of firing John Dorsey on Dec. 31 after just two years.

I've never heard of the guy, but I can assure you if the Browns have another losing record, he'll eventually get fired. Just ask Rob Chudzinski and the guy who previously was the head coach of the team, Freddie Kitchens.

Then again, I'll still give him a chance to at least turn the team around.

They are the Browns organization. :side:

Horrible hire ain't it? lol

Josh McDaniels and Jim Schwartz would have easily been better candidates, due to coaching experiences they previously had. I feel bad for you and your team to lose him, after all the years he's been with the Vikings organization. :(

Just means we get Gary Kubiak as OC I guess, and he's an offensive Guru.

I'm starting to wonder if any coach can keep a job in Cleveland. You can never truly know a Coach is working out after one Season or two, and that hire was truly a questionable one vs the other guys they interview. Happy to see Schwartz coming back to the Eagles as DC, he was dealt a bad hand this past Season with injuries and how he worked out the kinks later to help them get to the Playoffs was good to see. Jim Caldwell come on down, they need to get him as OC and he'll be a major upgrade vs Mike Groh. He would be someone that would challenge Wentz in improving his game and getting better in key situations as QB.
