By now, Sean McVay must expect to lose at least a couple of valuable assistant coaches each and every year. The Rams’ coaching staff is poached annually when other teams seek replacements for the coaches they fire, which is a testament to the job McVay has done assembling his group in Los Angeles.
With Kevin O’Connell expected to become the Vikings’ next head coach and Ejiro Evero heading to Denver to become Nathaniel Hackett’s defensive coordinator, talk about McVay’s coaching tree has begun again this offseason.
McVay finds that conversation “a little ridiculous” because he views those on his staff as co-workers who all have a hand in helping the Rams find the success they’ve had in the last five years. And as difficult as it is to lose coaches year in and year out, he says it creates “positive stress” because it gives him the chance to find other coaches who can fill those roles.
