LOS ANGELES -- At the end of a miserable 2022 season, his first with a losing record in six years leading the Los Angeles Rams, Sean McVay considered whether to pause -- or even end -- his career as an NFL head coach.
If he came back, many of the stars he had led to glory in Super Bowl LVI would have to be traded or released. In their place would be rookies and unproven youngsters, lots of them.
McVay would have to be ready for things to get messy this fall.
And that was before McVay and his wife, Veronika, found out their first child was due in late October, something that will bring with it a completely different set of challenges.
