Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski won his second NFL Coach of the Year award in his first four seasons with the team.
The announcement at Thursday’s NFL Honors didn’t go off without a hitch, however. As actor Justin Hartley announced the award, he said “Stephen Stefanski” by mistake.
On Friday morning, the Browns head coach called into “The Ken Carmen Show with Anthony Lima” on 92.3 The Fan and revealed that he has a cousin named Steve, whom he and his son called after the blunder.
Stefanski said his cousin answered the phone and simply said, “I did it.” Over the past year or so, Kevin Stefanski has shown even more of his personality, and it feels like the culture shift fans have wanted for so long has finally come to Cleveland and is here to stay.
Kevin Stefanski surprised @KenCarman & @Spencito_ and joked about being called the wrong name at the NFL Honors…but actually has a cousin named Stephen. pic.twitter.com/Dsu8rQeHc3
