Cleveland brown’s made some sweeping changes to the offensive coaching staff this week, and run game coordinator/running backs coach Stump Mitchell got caught in the shift.
Cleveland fired Mitchell, along with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, and made the decision not to retain tight ends coach T.C. McCartney on Wednesday, January 17, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports. On Thursday, Mitchell filed an official statement of response, in which he thanked the ownership group, general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski. Mitchell then addressed the players he’s coached along the way, including those remaining on the roster.
I want to express my sincere thanks to the players and running backs who donned the Browns helmet, giving their all to achieve success on Game Day. I devoted my efforts to maximize your hard work and talent, and it has been a rewarding journey.
The Browns organization played a pivotal role in embracing my vision of incorporating the Bill Willis Diversity Coaching Fellowship into their framework. Over the past three years, this program has provided opportunities for three young Black coaches, starting with Ashton Grant, followed by Israel Woolfork, now serving as the Quarterback coach for the Arizona Cardinals, and Nemo Washington.
Above all, I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support of my family and my love for the dedicated and hard-working fans of Ohio, particularly the Browns Backers. Your support is truly appreciated. I look forward to the next phase of my coaching career
