Sean McVay talked about his future on Friday, hoping to put that topic in the past, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

“I’m really committed to not having this become a story every year,” the Rams coach said.

Speaking with Los Angeles reporters for the first time since January, when he ended days of doubt by telling the team he’ll remain coach for a seventh season, McVay said his decision is good for more than 2023.

“When you’re making a commitment, you’re saying I’m committed to being the best coach I can possibly be not just for this next year but for a handful,” he said. “You don’t ever want to sit here and act like you can predict the future, but it’s not something that I’m looking at as a short-term type of decision.”

Speaking via Zoom, McVay discussed his commitment to the Rams by talking about the “blessing” of being able to coach, “re-establishing a purpose,” showing “responsibility” to players and staff, and having “gratitude” to owner Stan Kroenke for giving him time in January to ponder his future.

"When you go through some of the things that we went through last year, you can really get lost in things becoming a burden more than a blessing," McVay said. "When you really take a step back and get a chance to reflect, sometimes that reflection is best served after the humbling experiences and the challenging experiences."

“We know we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us,” McVay said. “But I think it’s similar to, really, when we first got here in ’17. We’re excited about rolling our sleeves up, getting to work and figuring out how we can be as competitive as possible. Let’s go!”
