Let’s make this clear up front: I don’t think Sean McVay should walk away from coaching the Rams after winning Super Bowl 2022 on Sunday night at SoFi Stadium nor do I believe for an L.A. minute that he will do so. The lure of his impending marriage and his plans to raise a family? The potential of being offered lucrative television money that could rival or even exceed his coaching salary? The prospect of some time away from the grind and the inherent stress that comes with head coaching? All powerful forces. But not powerful enough to tear McVay away from this Rams team. Not from this ideal situation. Not from what he does best. I don’t profess to know McVay personally other than through the handful of times I’ve interviewed him in a group setting. But coaching is in his blood ( his grandfather, John, was a former Giants coach and 49ers general manager). He’s damn good at it — at the very least close to as good as any of his peers. At age 36 years and 20 days, McVay became the youngest head coach ever to win a Super Bowl with the 23-20 victory over the Bengals. McVay already has a “coaching tree” that includes Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. He’s too good at what he does to walk away — with a 62-29 career record (including playoffs) in five seasons with the Rams, four of which resulted in a playoff berth and two ended in the Super Bowl.
