Mark this...No Way McVay goes anywhere.

Yep time for Stan to step up and give him the bag.

The only thing that can kill the Rams is letting ego get in the way. It killed the past Rams run with Vermeil/Martz.

There is no way that this is a leverage play because he doesn't need a leverage play. He literally holds all of the cards and he knows it and more importantly, Kevin and Stan knows it. No, this was just a statement taken out of context. I honestly see him riding out at least the remainder of Stafford's career. Another 4-5 years and then he may seriously consider taken a break to focus more on a hopefully growing family.

As has been mentioned I think losing offensive coordinators is not the worst thing that can happen to this Rams team.
The only issue is there are more McVay clones out there like what we just experienced in the Super Bowl.

It helps to have an owner that's moderately engaged like StanK. That way if McVay for some reason was thinking about jumping to the booth, Stan could give him one of his private planes, tell him to go anywhere and think about it for a few weeks some place tropical.

That was the flaw with no leadership in St. Louis and that there was nobody to talk Vermeil back from the ledge. Because I guarantee when Vermeil gave Georgia his too hasty resignation she was busy getting her newest astrological chart and figuring out where she was going shopping on Rodeo Drive.

You're probably right here but I did read that Stan was pretty hard on McVay at the last negotiation. He might feel he deserves a raise so he upped the stakes.

Who knows. I hope you're spot on.

I think they take care of him and he gets his bump from $8.5M to at least $10M but I see closer to $11M. My hope would be to get him extended through 2027

Compared to other coaches, sure. Currently the highest paid NFL coach is Belichek at $12 mil/yr. However, Tony Romo signed a 10-year contract worth about $17 mil/yr. And for sure, Romo's job is less stressful and more secure than any NFL HC job.

So if a network offers McVay a similar contract, what should the Rams do? If I'm Kroenke, I pay McVay a matching contract, but maybe Stan won't - which would be a sad day for the Rams. From Kroenke's perspective, I hope he looks at the increase in Rams franchise value, if they win another SB in the next few years. That will be way more than however much he has to pay McVay.
