After a variety of speculations and rumors, head coach Sean McVay has made an official decision on his future with the Los Angeles Rams.
In a quick statement released on Twitter, the Rams announced that McVay would return to the team for the 2023 season. “Sean McVay has informed the team that he is excited to return next season,” the team said.
The tweet is going viral with Rams fans expressing their excitement over the return of the Super Bowl champion.
2022 was the first losing season of McVay’s career. The team had gone just 5–12 after winning the Super Bowl the year before—one of the worst follow-up seasons to a world title in NFL history.
That poor season, combined with persistent rumors that McVay was burned out, led many to believe that McVay would leave this offseason.
Although the Los Angeles Rams are certainly in a better position with McVay than without him. He is one of the most innovative offensive minds in football with four top 10 offenses in six seasons as head coach.
The Rams have been a factory for producing offensive coaches who have gone on to do great things elsewhere — thanks in no small part to McVay’s patronage.
If the Rams get healthy, they have a good chance to be a title contender in 2023.
