Los Angeles Rams’ Bold Prediction – Sean McVay Steps Down After A Rough Season

There have been rumors about Sean McVay leaving the Rams for a television job over the past few years. Amazon has made a big push for McVay to join their Thursday Night Football coverage but he has spurned their offers to remain as the head coach of the Rams, who are now entering what could be a protracted rebuild.

There is still star power in Los Angeles, headlined by quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Cooper Kupp and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, but the bulk of the roster is loaded with young players aiming to make their mark on the league. That challenge likely invigorated McVay, who may see an opportunity to get back to the postseason in a weakened NFC, but the talent gap between the Rams and the rest of the league has been widened after years of trading away draft picks to pursue a championship.

The 2023 season figures to be a tough one for the Rams, who could struggle to match last season’s five-win performance. There will be more TV offers after this season for sure and McVay will opt to take one, giving Los Angeles a chance to go for a clean reset in their rebuilding efforts.

This won’t be the end of McVay as a head coach since he is just 37 years old but it seems like a part of him is intrigued by the idea of television, which allows him to stay involved with football without the grind of being a head coach. Going to TV would also allow McVay to avoid wasting years in a rebuild and recharge his batteries while waiting for the perfect opportunity to get back into the NFL.
