Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has contemplated retirement the last two offseasons, but he insists he is not going to make that an annual occurrence.

McVay held a video conference call with reporters on Friday ahead of free agency. He was asked about his future with the Rams, and the 37-year-old indicated that he is committed to remaining with the team next season and beyond.

“You want to make sure you’re making a decision … for years to come. I’m committed to not having this become a story every year. I don’t take that lightly,” McVay said.

A report two months ago claimed McVay was unsure if he wanted to be part of a rebuild after a tough 5-12 season. The coach said Friday that one of the reasons he decided to return is he would not have felt comfortable leaving the Rams in such a difficult situation.

“No. I would not have felt comfortable walking away from a situation where I think I owe more to the people than that,” McVay said, via Greg Beacham of The Associated Press.

There have been rumors for well over a year that McVay might want to take time off from coaching to try a career in television. He has admitted he is interested in broadcasting, but his most recent comments make it seem like he wants to explore that a lot further down the road.

The Rams are hoping Matthew Stafford returns to form next season after battling injuries in 2022. Though, they may prefer to start fresh after a disastrous year. Either way, it sounds like McVay will be along for the ride.
