Rams-Seahawks: McVay's Last Game Before TV Networks Come Calling?
Los Angeles Rams have head coach Sean McVay under contract as their head coach through 2026. But that contract extension he and General Manager Les Snead signed after winning a Super Bowl will not serve as a shield from television networks picking up their phone to see if the Rams' head coach will hang up his headset.
Front Office Sports reported on Thursday that television networks could make another run to land the young Rams' head coach.
"The [Rams] just had an abysmal year, ..." a source told Front Office Sports. "I would expect networks to call [McVay and gauge his interest again. I'm sure some already have."
A 5-11 record was on the books for the Rams after winning a Super Bowl. Especially after bringing back the core of that championship team. But as the old saying goes, "all good things must come to an end."
The Rams look likely to be gearing up for a big rebuild, and one they have to begin without a first-round pick until 2024 due to the blockbuster trades that were made in the name of winning the Lombardi Trophy.
If the rumors of McVay being "tired" and not wanting to endure a rebuild, then there is money to be made in broadcasting.
But it wouldn't be about the money for McVay. If he does "retire," that does not mean he is done with coaching forever. As we've seen with Jon Gruden, who left coaching at the age of 46 for ESPN's "Monday Night Football," he made a comeback just nine years later.
The Rams will travel to Seattle on Sunday to face the Seahawks at 1:25 p.m. (PT) in what could be the last game with McVay as the head coach.
