Former ESPN star Jemele Hill sparred with NFL fans after her posts on the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> hiring Kevin Stefanski as head coach after he spent time at the helm with the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n

Stefanski was hired to replace Raheem Morris, who only lasted two seasons as the team\u2019s head coach. Morris was previously the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams and Falcons. He also had a stint as head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

Hill claimed on social media that Falcons fans were “side eyeing” the Stefanski hire because of the way he handled the Shedeur Sanders<\/a> situation and because Atlanta is a “Black city.”<\/p>\n

“(Former NFL wide receiver) Harry Douglas was absolutely right,” she wrote on X on Friday. “None of the Falcons fans I know like the Stefanski hire. He had a losing record in Cleveland<\/a> and they didn\u2019t like how he handled the Shedeur Sanders situation. They LOVE Deion in the ATL. It\u2019s a Black city, with one of the Blackest fan bases in the NFL, and they have a Black QB on their roster \u2014 so a lot of ATL fans are side-eyeing this hire. Stefanski isn\u2019t going to get a honeymoon there.”<\/p>\n

Hill clarified her comment about the Stefanski hire further.<\/p>\n

“Because some of you misunderstood: ATL fans I know aren\u2019t saying Deion should be the coach over Stefanski. They are saying they don\u2019t trust Stefanski because they don\u2019t like how he treated Shedeur. They loved Deion. They love Shedeur by extension,” she added.<\/p>\n

Hill added that “people feel this way” and that, in her opinion, Falcons fans should give Stefanski an opportunity to prove himself.<\/p>\n

“But the reaction to the hire is mixed at best because of the reasons I stated,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Hill\u2019s assessment faced backlash on X.<\/p>\n

The Falcons have largely underachieved with a young corps on offense and in a weaker division since Tom Brady<\/a> retired from the NFL.<\/p>\n

Stefanski was able to get a lot out of the Browns organization, ending the franchise\u2019s playoff win drought in 2020. He\u2019s a two-time Coach of the Year and 45-56 overall.<\/p>\n
