Kevin Stefanski is Cleveland Browns' longest-tenured coach since the Haslams bought the team in 2012 .
The Browns signed Deshaun Watson to a five-year deal worth a record $230 million fully guaranteed.
To remain Cleveland 's head coach past this season , Stefanski will need Watson to perform at a level that propels the Browns into the playoffs after back-to-back losing seasons.
Cleveland faces the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night ( 8:15 p.m. ET ).
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has full-throated public support for head coach Kevin Stefanski .
Stefanski devoted this summer to finding out what fits quarterback Watson , sources say.
The two traded ideas over text message throughout the offseason, sources familiar with their relationship say.
Watson led the league ( 8.9 ) in that category in his last full season in 2020 .
And whether a gamble on their partnership is the one that finally turns the Browns into a winner. "We'll continue to grow," Watson said. "If you talk to the great ones that played with their coach... for a very long time, I think each and every year there's something that you can evolve and take your offense to another level. "So, it's been great. It's been fun. It's been very exciting. I think he's excited... and I am, too.".
