Rams head coach Sean McVay doesn’t intend to leave the team
As the Los Angeles Rams head into the regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, the focus has shifted toward head coach Sean McVay’s long-term future.
Reports have circulated again that McVay could bolt the Rams for a TV analyst job after the 2022 campaign. The Super Bowl-winning coach flirted with the idea of heading into that career shift last offseason but elected to return to Los Angeles on a massive contract extension that runs through the 2026 season.
In light of that, McVay talked about the matter, stating that his sole focus remains on coaching the Rams.
“I don’t know if you necessarily look at it like that as much as just … I am going to be open and honest about the things because you care so much,” McVay said via ESPN. “And it’s being able to be honest with those things.
“I think that acknowledgment helps me work through it. It doesn’t mean that it changes the passion and the love that you have for it.”
Even with McVay keeping his commitment to coaching the Rams, it’s quite clear that he will, at some point down the line, move on from the position. He has a clear and strong desire to get into the broadcast booth, which will also allow him to get more time with his family.

The opportunity to transition to broadcasting will always be there for McVay. It’s just a matter of when he will feel it’s right for him to make that inevitable move.
