The Cleveland Browns got rid of Kevin Stefanski as their head coach, and he already is receiving interest elsewhere.

Stefanski is set to interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their head-coaching job. He, along with Matt Nagy and Vance Joseph, had interviews lined up with the AFC West team on Thursday, according to Albert Breer.

Stefanski also met with the New York Giants on Tuesday and Wednesday regarding their vacancy. Plus, a previous report said he was set to interview with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons.

The Raiders are interviewing Chiefs OC Matt Nagy, ex-Browns coach Kevin Stefanski and Broncos DC Vance Joseph for their head coaching job today, per sources. Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak interviews tomorrow.

Vegas met with Broncos QB coach/PGC Davis Webb yesterday.

Stefanski went 45-56 over his six seasons with the Browns. He led the team to the playoffs twice and won AP Coach of the Year twice, so he is held in high regard across the league.

These are obvious signs that despite being sacked in Cleveland, Stefanski is likely to land a job elsewhere pretty quickly. He may not be in as high of demand as John Harbaugh, but he’s not too far behind.
