Both quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor and pass game coordinator/tight ends coach Shane Waldron have received interview requests as the NFL coaching carousel begins to turn.
• McVay said while he doesn't want to make a habit of losing good coaches, he believes it's the right thing to do — referencing his own rise to becoming a head coach.
• McVay also noted that if coaches from the Rams' staff are rising in the ranks, it signals the organization is having success.
• Both former Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur and quarterbacks coach Greg Olson left positions in McVay's staff for jobs with the Titans and Raiders, respectively, after the 2017 season.
