Analysis: As the Rams struggle, Sean McVay’s future remains murky
has left them devoid of a young nucleus ready to step up as elders move on — hence, the left tackle void following Andrew Whitworth’s retirement. And it’s well established that McVay, who turns 37 next month, will take a hiatus from coaching at some point to be available to the young family he and his wife intend to build.
Might the totality of everything that has gone wrong for Los Angeles’s most glitzy football franchise — and the uncertainty around the short-term future of an organization facing bloated contracts, withering cap space and a dearth of draft capital — expedite that exodus for the wunderkind head coach? My best guess: probably not now. But it’s very much possible a year from now.McVay is not a football cyborg.
Donald mulled retirement after the Super Bowl before ultimately agreeing to another megadeal, and he has missed two straight games with an ankle injury. One has to wonder how healthy Stafford ever really was in what amounted to a lost season for him. The Rams’ varied trade deadline pursuits all came up empty, and the football gods did them no favors.
It’s hard to see McVay walking away now, knowing this group did not get an opportunity to attempt to repeat on anything close to its own terms. But when the Rams gather again next spring to begin offseason work, one suspects there will be a tacit assumption — if it isn’t outright stated — that because of age, injuries, retirement and an inevitable roster purge, 2023 will be the last dance for this version of the team.
