Report: Major broadcasting network ready to pursue Rams' Sean McVay

The Los Angeles Rams are just hours removed from winning Super Bowl 56 over the Cincinnati Bengals, so there’s no doubt that the team and Rams fans everywhere are still celebrating the big win. While Rams’ head coach Sean McVay – who led his team to a Super Bowl crown at just 36 years old – is a part of that celebration, there’s a chance that he could be making a career change before too long.

According to a report from the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand, if McVay – who said last week that he didn’t want to spend his whole life as an NFL coach because he wanted to start a family – chooses to walk away from coaching, ESPN will pursue him to join the network’s Monday Night Football broadcast team.

Marchand reports that McVay “would likely be able to command a salary of more than $10 million per year,” and added that he could potentially have additional broadcasting opportunities with networks such as Fox and Amazon. If McVay did in fact receive a broadcasting salary of $10 million-plus per year, he’d be making more than his current coaching pay of $8.5 million.

As Marchand points out, this wouldn’t be the first time that McVay has been pursued by ESPN, as the network reportedly had conversations with the Rams’ head man in 2020 about joining Monday Night Football. He also mentions that McVay could try out a broadcasting career and still potentially return to the NFL at some point.

“McVay could see how he likes broadcasting and be perfectly positioned to pick his next coaching job, lining up the financials and the ability to proceed to his liking,” Marchand wrote.

Despite the report of McVay considering stepping down from coaching, the Rams’ head coach said after his team’s Super Bowl win on Sunday that he didn’t want to go anywhere.

“No, no,” McVay said on the NFL Network. “I’m so happy for this team right now. I’m so happy to be associated with it. We’re going to enjoy tonight. I’m not going to remember any of it.”
