    Mcvay to leave La for Espn and Mnf?

    Next Gruden? Florio:

    It all could be part of a subtle dance by McVay. In the days preceding the Super Bowl, Marchand reported that ESPN would pursue McVay for Monday Night Football, if McVay leaves the Rams. However, McVay likely wouldn’t walk away on the possibility of getting paid eight figures by a network. He’d need to have that offer in hand before stepping down.

    Either he wants a new contract. or he knows the team mortgaged their future, and the loss of premium draft picks will make his job all the more difficult

    His voice is annoying and he talks too fast.

    Although Tony Romo’s voice is annoying as well and he’s CBS’s #1 guy.

    He seems incredibly young to make this move but he's got a ring - Why not!

    I'm just surprised he's thinking about leaving??? Like... bizarre. Someone is in his ear though. Never knew this guy could get ancy like this?? I thought he would coach forever. Just overall very weird.

    McVay loves being a celebrity coach. He’s not John Madden. He won’t add anything to the game talking about it. He is a better coach as long as he can because he is not some action hero ready to hit the big screen.

    I think he knows maintaining a winning culture is hard, and the players don’t really respect him, when it comes down to it. Obviously a SB win might change that…still his team is compromised going forward…

    Why not? Everyone thinks he's a great coach; if he leaves he gets more money, less stress and maintains the myth a la Gruden.

    I'd quit coaching and take a job in the booth in an instant. Coaching is a total PITA. Crazy long hours, always two loses away from "the hot seat", modern day player/personnel problems (i.e. a white guy and it's only a matter of time before you're labeled a racist for the way you coach). Same money to sit around with a bunch of great people talking about football. Where do a sign?

    Head coach retiring at age 36 after 5 seasons? I've heard everything now.

    Doesn't really compare to Gruden. Gruden was like 45 and had coached 11 seasons.

    lots of players and coaches gonna be retiring earlier going forward because they realize how much work they are putting in all year just for the league to have a mandated scripted super bowl almost every season lol

    tom brady hung around forever because he knew the league would keep letting him win more and he's an egomaniac

    The Athletic seems to think he's going to ESPN for MNF.
    Also the new rumor is TB12 may 'unretire' and go to his home town area SF.
    SF will trade Jimmy G to one of three teams if TB12 chooses the Niners.

    Hot rumors flying all over today.

    Brady situation: This is the most interesting QB situation, from my perspective. A month ago, when word was circulating through league channels that Brady was considering retirement, some close to the situation indicated the quarterback had grown frustrated with some of the Buccaneers’ coaching. Brady retired, then suggested he would keep open the door for a possible return, in a “never say never” framing.


    It’s well-established Brady long hoped to play for the San Francisco 49ers. He rooted for them as a child. It is certainly plausible to think Brady could be content in retirement unless there were a seamless way for him to play one final season with his favorite childhood team, which lost the NFC Championship Game partly because Garoppolo struggled in the late going. For Brady, retiring makes it possible for a trade to materialize more organically.


    Brady might not have been willing to force a trade from the Buccaneers to the 49ers, which could have gotten messy and affected his legacy in a negative way, while straining relationships in Tampa that he surely values very much.


    By retiring, Brady has gracefully told the Buccaneers he will not play for them again. Tampa Bay has less reason to play hardball with Brady when there’s no chance he will play for them. By leaving open the door to play again, Brady is in position to accept a trade if one can be worked out. He never has to be the bad guy. He doesn’t really have to do anything.


    “That makes a lot of sense,” an NFL exec said, “and I do think it was a good strategy for him to do this in two pieces to say, ‘I’m retiring,’ and then a few days later say, ‘Well, I never say never, but I don’t ever anticipate playing again.’ ”


    As for the fit in San Francisco, the 49ers’ offense utilizes actions requiring significant quarterback movement. Brady, at age 44, is not especially mobile. But if Matt Ryan could win MVP honors in Kyle Shanahan’s offense after the 2016 season, Brady could seemingly fare at least as well now.


    “Brady is more athletic now than Ryan was then,” a veteran coach said. “Kyle runs outside zone and outside zone play-action, and it takes a certain amount of fitness to run that. There is a wide landmark on that play. Brady is in that kind of shape, but no other 45-year-old quarterback in the history of the league could ever do that.

    SF is perfect for Brady - Solid defense, excellent running game, good offensive line, receiving weapons with Kittle, Aiyuk, and Deebo - Not a bad situation for him!

    And it's home for Brady.

    If one doesn't have a subscription to The Athletic, than one is missing out the finest e-publication of it's kind.
    Ever.
    So good words can't describe it.
