Overview
- McDermott visited the Los Angeles Rams’ training camp on Friday to watch practices and study how the organization runs its day-to-day operations.
- Multiple outlets that reported the visit emphasized he is observing to learn during a planned year off and is not expected to be joining the Rams’ staff now.
- The trip follows McDermott’s January dismissal by the Buffalo Bills after nine seasons when owner Terry Pegula cited postseason results and leadership concerns.
- McDermott left Buffalo with a 98-50 regular-season record, five straight AFC East titles and eight playoff appearances, and he has also sold his Orchard Park home during this transition.
- Working with McVay would give McDermott exposure to the Rams’ highly organized practice methods and a precedent for veteran head coaches joining McVay’s staff, which could shape his plans for future openings.
