I am with TomSlick on this public retirement babble being ridiculous.

ME: Hey, if Sean McVay leaves his Rams Head Coach position, forget about McVay being a FOX/NBC/Amazon NFL Color Commentator.
Instead he could just get a One Hour Talk Show, where he could muse eloquent alone,
or with a guest or two.
Here's some program & Show Title Ideas:

TV Shows...

Disclaimer: The above is meant for amusement.
ME: IMO, I think Sean McVay has ranked with our best ever Ram HeadCoaches....Allen, Knox, Vermeil, Martz.....and I hope he gets securely anchored mentally and comes back to be the strong leader for many more winning Ram Seasons.....
but this soap opera stuff got let out of the Pandora's Box to the media by......
Sean McVay!

Question: Why would a entrusted, well paid, and respected leader do THAT??!!

Like I say, I hope a happy & healthy Sean McVay comes back......
but something smells funny in Copenhagen to me.

I guess we will all see how this all plays out, eh??

BTW, when did Les Snead go on that Antarctic expedition to the South Pole, where I guess even satellite phones don't work? Strange that the Los Ramos General Manager is so silent for so long, no?

As @norcalramfan opined, some changes might be necessary moving forward. Not everyone is cut from the same cloth.
I think our coach internalizes more than he probably should and feels that 24 / 7 / 365 is required to win. It might be easier said than done to get him to dial it back despite it probably being the best thing for him. That is the prudent option though and the happier medium for all. IMO

Demoff has talked openly about how what McVay does wasnt sustainable. He talked about this leading up to the Super Bowl last year I believe.

I have to admit it doesnt make me feel more positive that McVay is staying (regarding coaches free to get jobs), BUT if McVay is truly unsure it would be unfair to keep guys from getting jobs in case he does leave. At this point McVay has to figure this out quickly or we lose quality coaches for nothing.

[Elvis]

Schrager apparently saying, again, that if McVay steps away it would likely be temporary and maybe McVay would still be involved this season but not as HC.

If that's the case, Rams would not be making a big hire for HC, might be Raheem at top and Zac Taylor running the offense, something like that.

[norcalramfan]

Another day and another weird twist to the McVay saga. No asst. coach is being asked to fill out anew head coaches staff right now as any newly hired HC won't occur for most likely ten days to two weeks.

To make an announcement that his asst. coaches are free to look for work sends another bread crumb of evidence that he's not coming back. Quite frankly as much as I think McVay was a "god send" for this life-long Ram fan he has created a FUBAR with his equivocation about staying or going.

Just fucking go so we can hire Payton, allow him to assemble an all-star assistant coaching staff (read Vic Fangio) and start setting a new culture from We Not Me which apparently were words only to McVay and not part of his personal ethos.

You want to lose more draft picks? I wouldnt give up picks for Payton.

Move McVay to OC lol. Interesting, havent had a chance to listen. I like the Raheem scenario...if we must. (Edit I just listened, I hope Peter is off on the timing, Rams need to know sooner than the Super Bowl.)

[PARAM]

You know, for a guy like Morris or Brown this could be a good move. Take over the Rams, make the postseason, win a postseason game or two. McVay returns and they easily get a HC gig elsewhere.

Hacksaw well said. We lost out on some great assistants. I was a huge Kevin O Connell guy.

If he takes a year away he ain’t coming back here. I can’t see Kronkie going through that again. Maybe this is a way we get some of our draft compensation back.

I always say this guy is mini John Gruden very similar one a super bowl flamed out offensive genius.


This is L.A. I can see Kronkie swinging for the fences.

From what I’m hearing Sean Payton wants to be on the west coast particularly Los Angeles.

I think he wants to coach Justin Herbert that’s a great situation. He might be waiting for the rams.

Interesting how that Broncos stuff cooled off. They don’t have the compensation to give to the saints.

Let me paint a picture scenario for you. Brandon Staley gets fired.

Chargers hire Sean Payton

Rams hire Brandon Staley.

I’m just saying.

There are some interesting candidates.

Demeco Ryan’s Raheem Morris Brandon Staley Sean Payton Kliff Kingsbury

Also I could see Demeco Ryan’s turning down the Texans interview.

A lot of coaches waiting to see how this Mcvay thing plays out.

The Rams job is the best job.

1. Los Angeles

2. Sofi

3. Great ownership

4. Super bowl winning team

5. Quarterback Matthew Stafford there.

6. Best player in the NFL there Aaron Donald. You always have a shot.

7. Defense centered around Aaron Donald Jalen Ramsey and Bobby Wagner.

8. Coachable superstar Cooper Kupp.
