The Kentucky Wildcats announced Tuesday that Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Liam Coen has accepted the same role at the university while also being named quarterbacks coach.
That leaves Sean McVay, head coach of the Rams, needing someone to coordinate his offense. But there’s no certainty McVay will be returning next season to lead the Rams.
ESPN reports McVay is allowing his entire coaching staff to pursue other jobs because he doesn’t want his uncertainty about his future to hurt them.

As of now, it’s unknown whether any coach is taking up McVay on that offer to look elsewhere for employment.
McVay captured a Super Bowl win last year, stars Aaron Donald and Matthew Stafford helping to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in February.
RAMS HEAD COACH SEAN MCVAY WEIGHING IMMEDIATE FUTURE WITH TEAM: REPORT
The Rams couldn’t overcome their injuries and inconsistent play this season and finished 5-12. Stafford, Donald, Cooper Kupp and others were sidelined for much of the season, and despite his leadership and crafty mind, McVay couldn’t salvage the year.
This isn’t the first time McVay’s future as a head coach has been in question. He reportedly thought about retirement last offseason after winning it all.

If he did so this time, McVay would finish his career at 60-38 in six seasons as the Rams’ head coach.
McVay began his coaching career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an assistant wide receivers coach in 2008 under Jon Gruden. Then, after building a relationship with Gruden’s brother, Jay, during their time with the UFL’s Florida Tuskers, McVay moved to the Washington Redskins in 2010 to serve as assistant tight ends coach under Mike Shanahan.

Jay Gruden was then named the new head coach in Washington in 2014, and he promoted McVay to offensive coordinator from tight ends coach, a position McVay held from 2011-2013
McVay was regarded as one of the game’s bright offensive minds, and the Rams took a chance on him as head coach in 2017 when he was just about to turn 31 years old. The decision turned out to be a good one.
