If Sean McVay wants to retire from coaching, he could have a great job in television.

According to Peter King of NBC Sports, the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams could be offered more than 15 million dollars per year for a broadcasting role in the National Football League.

King writes.

"But it would be understandable if he strongly considered a TV job. First, if he leaves for TV, he's not retiring. Not many people retire at 36; Vince Lombardi won his first game as a head coach at 46. For insight on why McVay would even consider this, I give you this name: Tony Romo. CBS pays Romo $17.5 million a year to work about 20 games a year on TV. McVay makes about half that to coach the Rams, and though he's surely in line for a bigger payday after making two Super Bowls and winning one in five years, it's pretty logical for McVay to think seriously about being a TV analyst. Why wouldn't he consider ESPN on Monday night or Amazon on Thursday night, if they're willing to pay more than $15 million a year? (I thought it was around $15 million; one source told me 'more.')"

The New York Post reported on Feb. 12 that McVay could make at least $10 million in a booth.

McVay told reporters after the Super Bowl that his future in the NFL was uncertain.

"I don't really know. I know I love football and I'm so invested in this thing and I'm in the moment right now. But at some point, too, if you said what do you want to be able to do? I want to be able to have a family and I want to be able to spend time with them."

Ian Rapoport said that McVay told him via text message that he was committed to this team and coaching.

It is not unrealistic to think that McVay will coach through the remainder of his contract with the Rams.

The head coach of the Rams went 55-26 in five seasons, including two Super Bowl appearances in the last four years.

When he decides to retire, there is no doubt a broadcasting job will be waiting for him, but for now, it seems like he is dedicated to running it back with Matthew Stafford and Co.
