Retirement conversation with Sean McVay can be put on hold after the Rams' head coach confirmed he will be on the Los Angeles sideline again next season.

At this time last year, McVay said he was wrestling with how long he would remain in the profession as he started a family. He and his wife welcomed their first child in October.

But with his Rams on the doorstep of the playoffs, and McVay seven wins from setting the team record for victories as head coach (John Robinson, 75), he doesn't want to leave any doubt about his status for 2024.

"That I can promise you," McVay told host J.B. Long when asked if there would be a "Coach McVay Show" next season.

McVay turns 38 later this month. He was hired in 2017, guiding the Rams to a Super Bowl LVI win while building a 69-45 regular-season record (7-3 postseason) for a total of 76 career wins.

In 2022, McVay and general manager Les Snead signed contract extensions that expire after the 2026 season.

With one more win this season, McVay will have the Rams (9-7) back in the playoffs and move ahead of Chuck Knox into sole possession of second on the Rams' all-time wins list, which counts regular-season victories.

Knox's record with the Rams was 69-48-1; Robinson was 75-68.
