What Will Happen?

I personally do not see McVay landing a coaching job this offseason. NFL teams may actually think that he is too young to be a coach right now, and he could use another year of experience under his belt. Clearly, he has a terrific offensive mind, but the track record of some of the guys he is going against for the positions will likely outdo his.

If I had to make a prediction, I would say that McDaniels would end up Los Angeles, and a defensive coach would end up in San Francisco. Maybe it would be Vance Joseph or Sean McDermott. At the end of the day, it is hard to figure out what will happen for those two franchises, given the ruts that they have been in.

One thing will be certain. McVay is not long for the Redskins offensive coordinator job. Eventually, he will get a head coaching offer if he continues to build a stronger offense. It may not be the time this offseason, but I would bet that by 2018, McVay will be the head coach of an NFL team.
