Sean McVay spurns potential $100 million Amazon offer to stay with Rams

Sean McVay won’t be leaving the Rams.
Amazon Prime Video were planning on meeting next week with the Los Angeles head coach about him becoming an NFL TV game analyst, and sources felt the platform might go as high as offering five years and $100 million for its exclusive Thursday Night Football package in the fall.
But McVay has said no, presumably with a big raise from the Rams in hand. The Super Bowl winning coach was making a reported $8.5 million per season.
On Friday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that he was told by McVay that he “is not pursuing any television opportunities, and he is committed to helping the Rams defend their Super Bowl title.”

The television opportunities were pursuing McVay.
McVay had interest from Amazon and Fox. With Amazon, McVay could have potentially teamed with Al Michaels, who is on the 1 yard line to becoming Amazon’s lead play-by-player on its “Thursday Night Football” telecasts.

Aikman left for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” for $90-plus million over five. Aikman could be followed by his longtime Fox partner, Joe Buck. ESPN wants to reunite the duo, while Fox hopes to keep Buck.
If ESPN doesn’t land Buck, it likely will turn its attention to Michaels as Aikman’s potential partner.

I'd ask for 20 million 1 year deal which is the same as 5 years 100. Defend the title. If I win again I'm there long term. If not I go to TV

He should have taken the money. Ain't like the Rams are going to be perennial Super Bowl winners. Hell they're not even gonna repeat imo :hmm:

He’s living his dream to be a head football coach and just won the SuperBowl, at his age I didnt figure he would accept the offer when they started talking about it 2 weeks ago, I could see if he had been in the league 10+ years and was in his 50’s but he wants to see if he can win again

Absurd.

You think a team would agree to pay 20 mil for ONE YEAR on the off chance that you take them to the promise land. And if not, you bounce on them?

No front office would agree to that.

I would have taken the Amazon TV money like John Madden.

He just won the SB. He was just discussing leaving for 5 year/100 million for a less stressful job. He's 31 and made for a white TV audience.

He has the leverage.

ABSURD to think he doesn't

the most high profile job in one of the biggest sports cities in the US-coming off a SB win
he could get double what gruden got from the raiders

It's not about whether he has leverage. But nice try...

It's about a team committing the most HC money for one year.

Why would an organization agree to pay a HC top money for a year, only to have him either

A: Negotiate for the same money or higher IF they do win and IF he decides to stay.

Or

B: Have him leave and now being tasked finding a new coach to work with a team built for your exiting coach....who you just paid top money to.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, Belichick is currently the highest paid getting $12 mil per year

How does that make sense?

Been following McVay since he was the offensive assistant to tight ends coach to offensive coordinator (not calling plays) to offensive coordinator calling the plays for the Redskins. I knew he was going to be a beast by the way he had our offense humming despite the qb shortfalls we had/have. Dude is breed for coaching. It’s in him. Like you, I don’t see him going behind the mic until he is a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. Once that happens then he will leave to be an analyst on tv.

Edit: I truly believes he wants to build a coaching tree too. He lives and breathes this shit. Dude was known to be back on his bicycle peddling back to Redskins front office even during the off-season to prepare for the day. Dude different.

REDLINE · Mar 1, 2022

I don’t know man. Just won the Super Bowl, more time with the family, less stress and 10 million more a year?

He’s young and has a passion for coaching and I’m guessing he figures that he can always go to the booth later on.

FACTS. Long game. He will get more when he retires.

Yup and don’t forget who his grandfather is also.

He built the 49ers Dynasty. 5 Super Bowls as an executive.

The alternative that he walks now and you're scrambling for leadership.

But you got it. I'm just killing time

I think he should have taken it but on the other hand, his football coaching opportunity will NEVER again be as good as this year. SB Championship team, New Stadium, Los Angeles, Rich Owner, QB he loves, Aaron Donald, Cooper Krupp.
