Peter King: Sean McVay Could Be Offered Over $15 Million Per Year for Broadcasting Role

The Los Angeles Rams head coach could be offered more than $15 million per year for an NFL broadcasting role, according to Peter King of NBC Sports.
King writes:
"But it would be understandable if he strongly considered a TV job. First, if he leaves for TV, he's not retiring. Not many people retire at 36; Vince Lombardi won his first game as a head coach at 46. For insight on why McVay would even consider this, I give you this name: Tony Romo. CBS pays Romo $17.5 million a year to work about 20 games a year on TV. McVay makes about half that to coach the Rams, and though he's surely in line for a bigger payday after making two Super Bowls and winning one in five years, it's pretty logical for McVay to think seriously about being a TV analyst. Why wouldn't he consider ESPN on Monday night or Amazon on Thursday night, if they're willing to pay more than $15 million a year? (I thought it was around $15 million; one source told me 'more.')"
King's report comes after Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported on Feb. 12 that McVay could "make at least $10 million in a booth." If McVay were to take on a broadcasting job, his salary would be more than the reported $8.5 million per season he makes right now coaching the Rams.

At that level, it's not all about the dollars. Coaches, many of them at least, it's a way of life and they go nuts without the competition.

I used the Tony romo example the other day. Unless he just loves it he can make more doing less at this point.
And… mcvay is gruden 2.0 and every year will be at the top of every coaching hire list from the nfl to peewee. When he wants to start coaching again he will have his pick of teams and get a 10-15 year contract.
Then if he messes up in 4 years he rides off with guaranteed money… provided he didn’t send a bunch of emails.

His voice is so awful it would drive people crazy.

No pics of his wife. Downvoted.

If the league lost both Seans going from active coaches to the broadcast booth I think it would crack down on the networks in some way to keep its active coaches.

Problem with taking a gig like this is that you have no job security.
IIRC, one or more players have retired to take these gigs only to get canned within a year or two, meaning they’re out of both the league and broadcasting.

I felt like he was testing out his announcer voice during the pre Super Bowl stuff, and based on that he’s going to be Gus Johnson 2.0.
Dude was just screaming at a decibel way higher than anyone else he was talking to. Sounded like the drunk old friend you ran into at the bar whose emphatically telling you about something you don’t care about in the loud bar

Well it’s not like McVay would ever wait longer than 6 minutes for another NFL offer whenever he wants back in.
And Those players you mention were pretty much retired already or were fully retired already so it’s not like they left a massive amount of money on the table or anything
Plus those players weren’t negotiating from the position that McVay is coming right off of a super bowl. If a TV network wants him, they’ll throw him all that money and years guaranteed (as they did with Gruden) and job security is no longer a problem

Sean P hopes he stays in uniform…….

Networks are gonna start making it tough for elite coaches.
$15 million a year and actually see your family and have a life.

Big difference between players and coaches. Players have a shelf life. A guy retires one or two years early for a broadcasting gig and gets canned after two years, he's not really in any different position than he would have been had he kept playing.
A coach leaves coaching for a broadcast gig can almost always go back to coaching. There are a few examples of this, Gruden and Chizik being the most recent.

Yep - his enthusiasm, youthfulness, experience, and overall genius level knowledge of the game all sound great for a broadcaster.
But his voice is fricking terrible for it.

I like how "journalists" use worlds like "could" to hide the fact that this is a complete non-story. I *could* be offered a 2000% raise from my job tomorrow, but is it likely to happen or have I provided more than the most vague source? Nope.
For all we know a cleaning lady from the company hired to clean the practice facility *could* have told Peter King this.

How long before the next argument is that not enough black people are being offered these high paying announcer jobs?

Well it’s going to be tough for the networks to sell the coaches on this

At the current trajectory of the profession, he could probably make that much coaching too
