Sean McVay could make shocking decision following Super Bowl 56

Sean McVay could shock the world following Super Bowl 56. During his final availability prior to facing the Cincinnati Bengals, McVay pondered his options regarding his work-life balance for the future.

“I love this so much that it’s such a passion but I also know that what I’ve seen from some of my closest friends, whether it’s coaches or even some of our players, I’m gonna be married this summer, I want to have a family and I think being able to find that balance but also be able to give the time necessary,” McVay said. “I have always had a dream about being able to be a father and I can’t predict the future, you know? I jokingly say that.

“I don’t really know. I know I love football and I’m so invested in this thing and I’m in the moment right now. But at some point, too, if you said what do you want to be able to do? I want to be able to have a family and I want to be able to spend time with them.”

Moreover, ESPN reported that McVay could be considering stepping away from coaching to work as a television analyst instead.

“Those thoughts come against the backdrop of multiple sources telling ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry in the past and again recently that McVay has considered working as a television analyst as an alternative to coaching,” wrote ESPN. “In January, multiple league executives suggested to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that McVay could follow a similar coaching/broadcasting path to Jon Gruden, whom McVay coached under in Tampa Bay in 2008, and take a break from coaching for a lucrative TV job.”

Evidently, McVay’s early foray into coaching could lead to an early exit for the Rams leader.

NFL executive on McVay: ‘I think he’s trying to get that Super Bowl ring quickly so then he can have options.’

Continuing, one NFC executive told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the belief is Sean McVay wants to win a Super Bowl so he’s free to explore other options in the future.

“I think he’s trying to get that Super Bowl ring quickly so then he can have options,” the executive told Fowler. “If he wants to do TV for a while, he’d be great at it and can always go back and coach any team he wants after that.”

As you can see, the future is weighing heavy on the mind of Sean McVay as he wrestles with a gigantic decision. However, Super Bowl 56 comes before anything — his focus is squarely on the Cincinnati Bengals at the moment.
