Not only have they shared the husband-wife bond, but the two are also parents to five kids. Most football fans know a coach’s family details will be mentioned on the team’s website.

The websites do not go into detail but write about the coach being married and state the names of their wives and kids. But the Cleveland Brown page hasn’t d one anything like that for their former coach.

This could make many believe Coach Stump is unmarried and has no kids. But previously, in 2007, in an interview on the Seattle Seahawks website, Stump revealed he had kids.

When the coach was asked what was a defining moment of his life out of football, he replied, “The birth of my kids – nothing else compares to that. Mitchell coached the Seahawks from 1999-2007. He was their running backs coach.
