The Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay decided to address rumors suggesting that he may retire, clarifying that he promised the Rams that he would be back to coach the team in 2024. During the same period last year, McVay admitted that he was weighing up his future in the NFL as he started a family. He and his wife welcomed their first child in October.

After signing an extension in 2022, McVay’s current contract runs through 2026. Arriving at the team in 2017, McVay guided them to victory at Super Bowl LVI. The coach has a 69-45 regular-season record and a 7-3 postseason record. Currently, McVay is tied with Chuck Knox (69-48-1) for second place in the Rams’ career regular-season wins list, with John Robinson leading the pack at 75 regular-season wins.

With the regular season record in sight and the Rams headed to the playoffs, McVay confirmed his decision to stay on. “That I can promise you” he confirmed, leaving no doubt as to his intentions heading into 2024. The Rams have clinched second place in the NFC West at 9-7, narrowly beating out the Seattle Seahawks (8-8).
