Amazon Was To Pay Sean McVay $100M To Leave Coaching For Thursday Night Football Booth

Now it makes sense that L.A. Rams coach Sean McVay was contemplating leaving the sidelines for the broadcast booth. Apparently, Amazon was throwing $100 million for him to leaving coaching to be in their Thursday Night Football Broadcasting booth...

Per Fox News...
quote:

Super Bowl-winning coach Sean McVay said he’s staying with the Los Angeles Rams, but it sounds as if it’s coming at a cost.

Per Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Amazon was prepared to make McVay a $100 million man. Or more specifically, Amazon intended to offer McVay at least in the neighborhood of $100 million with a five-year contract.

The sides were expected to meet next week, per Marchand. The Rams, of course, knew this is coming and "have stepped up with a raise from his reported $8.5 million," Marchand wrote.

But McVay told ESPN on Friday that he has no intentions of leaving the Rams, and instead will be seeking a repeat.

"McVay had interest from Amazon and Fox. With Amazon, McVay could have potentially teamed with Al Michaels, who is on the 1 yard line to becoming Amazon’s lead play-by-player on its ‘Thursday Night Football’ telecasts," Marchand wrote. "Michaels has wanted to know who his analysts would be, but now Troy Aikman, John Lynch and McVay have all said no."

If true he’s a moron. What more do you have to prove? You’re Not going to touch Bellicheck as far as career Super Bowl victories go. Take the money and run.

he's young and maybe he likes the excitement of actually being in the game. TV announcing is great for retired guys, but McVay is in his prime. There will be plenty of media opportunities after he calls it quits on the sidelines. PLus, he makes a ton of money now. How much more would he enjoy $20M per year as opposed to $8.5M or whatever the Rams will pay him now. Lifestyle-wise, it's effectively the same.

Seems like a no brainer to take an easier less demanding much better paying job after reaching the pinnacle of your profession.
