Rams' Sean McVay considering brief NFL coaching career?

Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay turned 36 in January and is set to lead his team into a Super Bowl for the second time in four years when the Rams meet the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. While that success at such a young age has McVay well-positioned to set records in the future, he isn't too interested in sticking around for long.

On Friday, McVay told reporters he "won't make it" to age 60 as an NFL coach and hinted that he won't even come close.

"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, via ESPN. "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."

According to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry, several people around McVay believe the coach has considered turning to a career as a television analyst. In August 2020, the New York Post reported ESPN approached the coach about joining the network's "Monday Night Football" crew.

In five seasons with the Rams, McVay has led the team to a 55-26 record in the regular season and a 6-3 record in playoff games.
