The Washington Redskins may end up losing their offensive coordinator this offseason. Sean McVay is rumored to be in the running for a couple of head coaching jobs.

During the 2016 season, the Washington Redskins put together a terrific offensive season. Led by Kirk Cousins and a stellar passing attack, the unit flourished. They were the third best offense in terms of average yards per game, posting a mark of 403.4. Many credit Jay Gruden with the success of the offense, but the efforts of offensive coordinator Sean McVay cannot be ignored.

McVay is just a 30-year-old coordinator, but he has already established himself as one of the top, young offensive minds in the league. He has helped to greatly improve Cousins all while working with a running game that has no workhorse. Granted, the Redskins have a lot of quality receivers, by McVay has been able to get the most out of his players. The only issue with the offense this season has been red zone efficiency, and that is due to play calling issues.

That said, McVay’s impressive body of work is drawing attention from some NFL teams. There are quite a few coaching vacancies in the league, per usual, and two have requested permission to interview McVay. They are the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Despite the interest of the two teams, it would seem that McVay might be best off staying in Washington for another year. The major reason? Neither team is all that attractive of an option.
