Sean McVay has only been an NFL head coach for three years, but he’s already getting calls about transitioning to the broadcast booth. According to the New York Post, ESPN spoke to McVay about being an analyst on “Monday Night Football.”
Andrew Marchand of The Post reports “ESPN executives think McVay could be a standout in the booth, somewhat like Jon Gruden” – which is fitting because McVay hails from Gruden’s coaching tree.
McVay hasn’t expressed any interest in leaving coaching for a broadcasting job, but the conversation was left at ESPN being interested in bringing the 34-year-old coach to the booth if he left the sidelines.
The Rams signed McVay to an extension last offseason after he reached the Super Bowl in his second season at the helm, keeping him in Los Angeles through 2023. As one of the brightest young minds in the game, the Rams have struck gold with McVay leading the team.
During Super Bowl LIV this year, McVay did do some broadcasting work. He was on ESPN’s “Postseason NFL Countdown” before kickoff, a four-hour pregame show ahead of the Super Bowl.
He clearly has the intelligence and charisma to be a broadcaster one day, but Rams fans have to hope that day doesn’t come anytime soon.
