Will Kevin Stefanski return in 2026? Browns vs. Bengals Week 18 preview
Podcast: Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns PodcastPublished On: Fri Jan 02 2026
Description: For the final time this season, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get you ready for a Browns game as they preview the Week 18 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. The game itself takes a backseat to the much bigger question looming over the franchise: Will Kevin Stefanski return as head coach next season? They try to read the tea leaves and discuss the vibe in Berea that suggests a change could be coming. They explore the different scenarios, including the possibility of promoting defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to head coach to maintain continuity on the team's best unit and keep rising offensive coordinator Tommy Rees. Is the grass actually greener, or should the Browns stick with what they have despite two losing seasons? Plus, they talk about the one thing that matters on the field: Myles Garrett's chase for the sack record against a familiar foe in Joe Burrow. Lance Reisland joined the show for his final scouting report of the season, breaking down the Bengals' offense and defense and how the Browns can attack them. Lance also makes his pick. To wrap it up, Mary Kay, Ashley and Dan make their final game picks of the season.
