McVay is rumored to be on his way out as he wants no part of the incoming rebuild.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Rams had plans to promote defensive coordinator Raheem Morris to the position of head coach had McVay left in 2022.

Both McVay and Aaron Donald contemplated retirement following their Super Bowl victory last February and they’re now at the very point. Breer claims the team was going to go with Morris over Kevin O’Connell, who was their offensive coordinator at the time. O’Connell is now the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
