Sean McVay's future as Los Angeles Rams coach in limbo

According to multiple sources, Sean McVay's future as the Los Angeles Rams head coach is up in the air.

It is believed that McVay will take some time after Sunday's regular-season finale to make a decision on his future.

Over the past year, McVay has gone through a lot, winning a Super Bowl, being courted to work in television, getting married, and losing his grandfather.

McVay will have a losing record as a head coach as the Rams are 5-11. Sources say that injuries have taken their toll on McVay. According to sources, McVay needs time to regroup and decide if he has the energy to coach next season.

Changes will be made by the Rams. Their first-round pick is missing. They are close to the cap. Sources told Chris Mortensen last month that Liam Coen was going to return to his old job at Kentucky.

Many of the jobs that McVay was rumored to be interested in have already been filled.

McVay told reporters Friday that interest from the networks comes in part because he hasn't "run away from the fact that down the line, or whenever that is."

McVay is under contract to the Rams through the 2026 season, but if he were to step away, the contract would toll and he would remain under contract to Los Angeles.

McVay didn't comment on his future or his plans for the future.

The irony is that since the Lions own the Rams' first-round pick in the 2020 draft, Detroit has always supported Los Angeles. If the Rams beat the Seahawks on Sunday, the Lions will have a chance to make the playoffs.

Matthew Stafford was able to come off injured reserve on Saturday, but the Los Angeles Rams decided not to use him.
