Sean McDermott Visits Rams Training Camp During Planned Year Off

The former Bills coach observed Sean McVay’s practices to study coaching methods and position himself for future openings.

Overview

  • Sean McDermott visited the Los Angeles Rams’ training camp on Friday, July 31, to watch practice and learn how the organization runs its day‑to‑day operations.
  • He is taking the 2026 season off by design and is using visits like this to study other teams rather than immediately accepting a coaching job.
  • McDermott was fired by the Buffalo Bills in January after nine seasons and a 98‑50 regular‑season record, a move Buffalo tied to repeated postseason shortcomings.
  • Several outlets noted the visit prompted speculation about a possible Rams role because Sean McVay often adds veteran coaches, but there is no offer or hire reported.
  • Observers say the trip serves both professional development and market visibility and that McDermott is expected to reassess head‑coaching opportunities after the 2026 season.
