Rams’ Sean McVay Gets Honest About Tenure With Team
Los Angeles Rams‘ head coach Sean McVay made NFL history by becoming the youngest head coach at the age of 30 back in 2017.

The Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals when Sean McVay was 36 years old, making him the youngest head coach to win the championship.
Host Rich Eisen pointed out that McVay is one of the younger coaches in the NFL, and wondered if the coach experiences burnout and if he still enjoys his job.
“I love it,” the head coach replied.
“I think there’s been some times, Rich, that you know and we’ve talked about that I went through, where you lose perspective,” McVay added. “You come in and you’re so young, you have that unobstructed mind. You don’t even know the things to worry about… And then in the midst of that journey, you can almost lose sight of it and you get caught up in, ‘hey, this is about being transformational, not transactional.'”
“When you get hired at 30 years old, I made a ton of mistakes. There’s been some things you want to replicate, but I think I have a healthier perspective on what a blessing this is and how much I love this game and how many blessings it’s brought me.”
Sean McVay was the offensive coordinator with the Washington Commanders, previously as the Redskins, for three seasons before being hired as the head coach for the NFC West team.
The Rams’ playcaller has only one losing season with the organization in eight full seasons.

The Los Angeles Rams made a good choice when hiring Sean McVay.
As mentioned, he coached the team to a Super Bowl win and many other playoff appearances. McVay is considered one of the best head coaches in the league, with one of the largest coaching trees in the
The head coach has expressed his gratitude for working in the NFL and the various people around him.
“But most importantly, the people I’ve been able to develop relationships in the midst of this journey, the impact you want to make,” McVay said. “I love this job, but most importantly, I love the people that I’m doing this with.”
“I love these players, I love the coaches, love working with [general manager] Les Snead going into year nine… I think there was moments when I got a little bit misguided and I wasn’t the person I want to be… but there’s a much more healthier perspective and appreciation for what this job is.”
McVay’s contract with the Rams runs through the 2026 season.
Chicago Bulls predicted to have All-Star after surprising upset win
The Chicago Bulls had an unenviable opening matchup: the Detroit Pistons without Coby White. Yet, Chicago pulled out a win and surprised everyone. They looked pretty great in doing so. In fact, the team looked so good that one insider is ready to say that this team will have an All-Star this year, and it’s not even clear which player that will be.

The natural All-Star candidate is second-year forward Matas Buzelis. He has limitless potential and started to really look good in preseason. That, plus the unknown factor of Buzelis, meant that he was a likely All-Star candidate, and through one game, that’s been the case. However,
“Even without Coby White, the Bulls opened their season with a 115-111 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. And three different players were a big part of the upset,” Bailey wrote. “Buzelis had 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting and blocked three shots for good measure. Two-time All-Star Nikola Vučević had 28 points and 14 boards.”
Everyone looked pretty great, but the combination of a hot finish to 2024-25 and a really solid opening night suggests that one player is the most likely to get an All-Star nod. “But the likeliest All-Star might be Josh Giddey, who closed his 2024-25 averaging 20.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 9.6 assists over his last 18 games and had 19 points and 11 assists on Wednesday,” Bailey continued. “If he keeps stacking up lines like that, and the Bulls are around .500 when All-Star picks are made, he could sneak in.”
Regardless, the fact that Chicago won without White, who could also generate All-Star buzz himself, is impressive. Doing it in such a manner that it’s not clear who the best player on the team will be this season is an even bigger win, and it suggests that all the talk of another mediocre season in the windy city may be totally overblown. For at least one night, things are really looking up for the Bulls, which has been a long time coming.
