As Rams imploded, Sean McVay faded away: How they found their way back to each other

New York Times  

Jourdan Rodrigue’s “The Playcallers”, a new narrative podcast series that takes a look at the inside dynamics of the NFL’s youngest coaching family, the Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay tree, is live now. “What happened up front, I don’t know how you have solutions to that,” McVay said. It’s a dry joke among some Rams executives that they “robbed” McVay of normal life experiences and their ensuing lessons as a young adult. “Instead of continuing to be this person that you think everybody wants you to be,” he wondered, “how can you be the person that you are — which is still good enough and will also probably elevate the people around you so much more?” McVay started his head coaching career with a half-dozen different mantras and slogans written on the walls of the Rams’ practice facilities, but when things were at their worst, he didn’t believe any of them.
