Sean McVay considering stepping away from coaching?

[Mattymafia]

I wouldnt like Mcvay as a broadcaster. His voice is annoying and hes kind of a douche bag.

This would be the reason.

 

If he wins tomorrow, he can say...."Well Rams, I got you that Super Bowl championship you wanted. It's been great! See ya!"

Would you take a totally bleak 4 years for a Super Bowl win?

Are you asking me as a fan or if I were McVay?

[Mango]

I totally get the whole love of the game thing.  
 

But I understand this too. He can make the same money to watch way less film and be home all the time.

[HappyDays]

There have been a lot of power plays from coaches and players this past year, more than I can ever remember.

Interesting....

 

One one hand, if he is guaranteed a job in broadcasting, he can enjoy a very low stress lifestyle compared to coaching in the NFL

On the other:  you have to have a major competitive fire burning to get to where he is now....that doesn't just vanish and he's very young in NFL HC terms.

 

LA, for some reason, is one coaching situation/fan base that I can see a champion HC walking away from and not going for the repeat.  There's just a "meh" to everything bout LA pro football.

It’s the fan base. It’s transient and bandwagon.

I can't speak for bandwagon, but while I won't begrudge Matt Stafford success after spending the majority of his career in NFL purgatory, I'd hardly call myself a Rams fan.

It's LA.  I say acting, or performance artist.  You know, sitting in a barrel of pickle brine reading passages from Kerouac.  Like cool, daddy-o. 

 

[RalphWilson'sNewWar]

He is so young as a head coach 

and has already made 2 Super Bowls with 2 different quarterbacks.

 

But he’s got so much going for him regardless that should he walk away he’s golden.

 

Youth, Offensive Minded Coach (which the league is), up to date on current trends.

 

coach could take off nearly off a decade, come back, and only be Coach McDermotta age right now.

 

And I still consider Coach McDermott young enough!

[ColoradoBills]

Yep, those Ukrainian girls are pretty.

Wasn't it Marv Levy who said "if you think about retiring next year, you already have, you just don't know it yet?" or something like that?

 

Not a Good Sign for the Lambies tomorrow.

Yeah, it's basically what I point out when folks suggest Romo as some flavor of coach.  He works most of the week from home, he works shorter hours than he did as a player and way shorter than he would as a coach, he is not under as much scrutiny for his every decision, and he's very well paid. 

 

What's Not To Like?

 

That said, if McVay does this I'll have to think that he's kind of pulling a Sean Payton - get the team into cap hell trying to fuel his success, then skeddadle

I think people might be blowing this out of proportions, this whole thing comes from him saying he doesn't think he'll coach into his 60s and that's like 24 years from now.

Or he has mortgaged the team future cap money/ draft picks, and knows he has to let I all that talent go, and has no desire to walk that walk, the saints come to mind…,

That was my first reaction.  He could take a few years off and maybe get his feet wet in broadcasting.  Then he can watch the new Rams coach struggle which only elevates his stock.  Then some desperate owner will give him the Jon Gruden treatment and he'll demand a massive contract.  Genius if he goes this route.

Very true.

 

And he could also be jumping off a sinking ship that has no draft capital or cap space, which could also be a strategic, smart career move.

He definitely knows tomorrow is everything.  This organization has pushed all their chips to the center of the table. They're kinda like the Lakers. Win now or you're screwed for the next several years.
