Jared Goff got closure from Sean McVay, and it helped make him a Detroit Lions hero

LA Times  

His father was a fireman and, in a way, Jared Goff is one too. There were other quarterbacks who were on the carousel that year, and and I had a conversation specifically of, ‘Do you want Jared in the deal?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ ” That turned out to be a shrewd decision, even though it took patience for coach Dan Campbell and the Lions to stick with Goff through the early turbulence while the foundation was being poured for the ground-up rebuild. How do I get better?’ He wanted closure.” Recalling that two years later, Goff didn’t go into details about what was said in his final meeting with McVay, saying only: “I got some answers and gained a lot of closure. “But I’m really happy for him.” Likewise, Goff and the Lions are gaining fans around the country by the week. “He’s a winning quarterback who has taken a team to the Super Bowl and has a chance to do it again,” said ESPN’s Joe Buck, who called Detroit’s win over Las Vegas in Week 8.
