The Browns managed to secure only three wins throughout the campaign, further underscoring their struggles.<\/p><p>This marks the second consecutive season that the Browns have dismissed their offensive coordinator. Following the 2023 season, Alex Van Pelt was let go despite the team making a playoff appearance. <\/p><p>This year, under Ken Dorsey&rsquo;s guidance, the Browns&rsquo; offense ranked 28th in average yards gained per game and dead last in points scored, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/stats\/team\/_\/table\/passing\/sort\/totalPointsPerGame\/dir\/desc\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>averaging just 15.2 points per game<\/a>.<\/p><p>In addition to Dorsey&rsquo;s dismissal, the team has also fired offensive line coach Andy Dickerson. <\/p><p>These moves suggest the Browns are committed to retaining Kevin Stefanski as their head coach, while signaling a broader overhaul is underway&mdash;changes the franchise desperately needs heading into the offseason.<\/p><p><\/p><p><em>Photo Credit : &copy; Bob Donnan-Imagn Images<\/em><br><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleveland Browns are making changes into their staff following their loss in Week 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":11037,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[373,2505],"class_list":["post-11036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-ken-dorsey"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
