Summary
Sean McVay said he nearly stepped away from the Rams after their 5-12 2022 season, calling himself in a “dark” place and tempted by media opportunities.
Veronika Khomyn changed that decision, he said on “60 Minutes,” after telling him that taking a year off did not sound like the leader he wanted to be.
McVay said that warning forced him to admit he would have been quitting because he could not handle the losses, rather than simply taking a break.
Los Angeles rebounded once he stayed, posting back-to-back 10-7 seasons before going 12-5 in 2025 and reaching the NFC Championship.
The Rams have since reloaded with Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, though they opened 2026 with a Week 1 loss to the 49ers.
