Will it be Stefanski or Dorsey calling plays?

BEREA — The Browns’ season has been over for three weeks since their AFC wild-card loss in Houston. Somehow, there may only be more questions to be answered now than there were the night their season ended.

Some of the questions are personnel-related. However, in the last two-plus weeks, there’s been several more questions created surrounding the coaching staff and, by extension, the front office and even ownership.

Coming off an 11-6 regular season and the team’s third playoff berth since 1999, some questions were just inevitable. Still, with months remaining before the Browns even get back together for the start of the voluntary offseason program, these are questions where at least a little clarity would be nice. Some of it could come soon, some may remain cloudy for some time.

If either the head coach or the new offensive coordinator was to nip this one in the bud, they can do so Monday new OC Ken Dorsey is expected to be introduced to the media. All it takes is Kevin Stefanski saying something along the lines of, “I love calling plays, but I just believe there’s so much more on my plate as a head coach going into this season, it’s best to focus on those and let Ken handle the play calling.”

Want to put cold, hard cash on that being said, or even words that somewhat resemble that clear-cut of an answer? Didn’t think so.

Sources have continually said the decision on who will call the plays is Stefanski’s, but that they were working through the decision, It’s hard to imagine hiring any offensive coordinator, let alone one who has called plays before, without that being discussed.

So the guess here is that, when Dorsey meets with the media for the first time in his new role, the question will most certainly be asked, and likely asked in several different ways. The answers, or non-answers, that follows will keep this topic on the front
