Sean McVay was on top of the football world at the end of the 2021 season, winning a Super Bowl in his team’s home stadium, while becoming the youngest head coach in NFL history to hoist the Lombardi trophy. Surprisingly though, after the victory whispers of McVay’s potential retirement from coaching began to swirl, with rumors that the coach was considering leaving the sidelines for a role on TV. Those rumors never came to fruition however, and McVay returned to the Los Angeles Rams sidelines the following season.
What happened next was a tough 5-12 campaign marred by injury at almost every position.
