While Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay enjoys<\/a> his new contract, he must wonder whether his job will be easier or tougher, depending on Matthew Stafford\u2019s decision<\/a>. One thing is for sure: McVay has an ever-growing coaching tree, and he hilariously opened up about it.<\/p>\n

McVay said he\u2019s getting used to things<\/a>, according to a post on X by Ari Meirov.<\/p>\n

\u201c#Rams HC Sean McVay, talking about teams hiring head coaches off his staff: \u201cIt never fails. Every time my wife and I go on vacation, someone is getting a head coach job, and then I\u2019m spending too much time on my phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being a Rams\u2019 OC opens head coaching doors<\/p>\n

Meirov also posted about the history of McVay\u2019s coaching staff.<\/p>\n

\u201c#Rams HC Sean McVay has had four OCs during his tenure as head coach:<\/p>\n

* Matt LaFleur
* Kevin O\u2019Connell
* Liam Coen
* Mike LaFleur\u201d<\/p>\n

All four are head coaches. Mike LaFleur became the latest to move up when took over as the Cardinals\u2019 head coach.<\/p>\n

Among the other coaches, according to SportingNews.com, Zac Taylor has produced a record<\/a> of 52-63-1 with the Bengals, reaching the Super Bowl but losing to McVay in that game in 2021.<\/p>\n

Matt LaFleur is 76-40-1, but has missed out on the Super Bowl with the Packers despite some very good chances of getting there.<\/p>\n

Brandon Staley didn\u2019t get much done with the Chargers, going 24-24.<\/p>\n

Kevin O\u2019Connell has gained respect with the Vikings. He has a record of 43-25.<\/p>\n

Also, Liam Coen had a successful first season with the Jaguars. The team went 13-4 and won the AFC South title.<\/p>\n

McVay said he understands the moves<\/a>, according to nypost.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys are getting better opportunities that we can\u2019t offer here, and that\u2019s a great thing for them,\u201d McVay said last week.<\/p>\n

Losing Mike LaFleur means McVay will have to retool things with the offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the first question is, what\u2019s the fit?\u201d he said when asked what he looks for in an assistant coach. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve gotten a lot of reps at this too, now. It starts with character. You better be a high character individual. And I don\u2019t really care what kind of coach you are, but I don\u2019t think you\u2019re a good coach if you don\u2019t have high character. And then you better have capacity for the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay enjoys his new contract, he must wonder whether his job will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,2444,2611,6,424,3307],"class_list":{"0":"post-725895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-losangeles","12":"tag-losangelesrams","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-rams","15":"tag-sean-mcvay"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116005951564335800","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
