THOUSAND OAKS — Rams coach Sean McVay smiled and said, “Good question.”
It was a safe response from McVay, but probably a good one for the TV executives who are hoping to take McVay off the sidelines and into the studio or booths. NFL TV partners are again eyeing McVay as a possible game or studio analyst for next season, Front Office Sports reported Thursday. McVay, who guided the Rams to a Super Bowl title nearly 11 months ago, said the 2022 season has humbled him, but he referred to it as a “professional failure.” He was asked Friday if this season has made him question whether he wants to continue coaching.
McVay did sign a lucrative contract extension with the Rams after winning the Super Bowl and after declining Amazon’s offer to join its “Thursday Night Football” TV broadcast. Coen said Akers’ confidence is a reason why he’s having a late-season surge. Akers has averaged 102 rushing yards and 5.6 yards per carry during his past three games.
