The Cleveland Browns shook up their coaching staff on Tuesday and former offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt issued a brief statement on being let go.
Van Pelt came aboard with Kevin Stefanski in 2020, serving as the offensive coordinator. It wasn’t the typical setup for Van Pelt, who did not call the plays. That was the duty of Stefanski, who has assumed the play-caller role since arriving.
Van Pelt spoke with ESPN reporter Jake Trotter after being let go and kept it short and sweet.
“On to the next one,” Van Pelt told Trotter.
The shakeup also included running backs coach Stump Mitchell and tight ends coach T.C. McCartney.
Trotter offered a little more details on how the firing of Van Pelt unfolded.
“To clarify further on the Alex Van Pelt situation. Per multiple team sources, the Browns discussed a ʻreassignment of rolesʻ with [Van Pelt] on the coaching staff. But ultimately, the two sides opted to part ways,” Trotter wrote.
