Apparently, the Syracuse football coaching staff was “too good” for one of the NFL’s brightest minds Sean McVay. Here’s the full story that finally leaked.

Just when Syracuse football fans thought they had put their recent mediocre history behind them with a 10-3 record-breaking 2018 season, something like this happens.

Hey does anyone know who Sean McVay is? Yeah, that Sean McVay:

The one who just led the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl in his second year as a head coach at 33 years of age.

Many consider McVay the best offensive coach in all of football and caused quite a rave this NFL offseason. The majority of the head coach openings were filled by coaches who have had some sort of connection to McVay (whether real or just in passing). The NFL is a copy cat league after all.

While those teams should all be trying to copy McVay, but not for what he has done with the Rams, but what he should’ve been doing for the Syracuse football team!

The history of McVay and Syracuse recently was brought up on the Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take Podcast:

“I said, ‘You know, you actually refused my resume,’ ” McVay said, recounting a recent get-together with Marrone and other coaches per Nate Mink of Syracuse.com. “But in all actuality, I was very close to going and working with him if the United Football League opportunity didn’t present itself.”

Apparently, when Doug Marrone was hired for his “dream job” back in 2009 with Syracuse, the McVay resume came across his desk for the vacant “quality control” position. Well let’s just say it was one of those don’t call us, we’ll call you situations.

After being spurned by the Orange, Sean went through several assistant positions in the NFL and beyond before eventually earning the offensive coordinator role with the Washington Redskins from 2014-16.

In that position he helped Kirk Cousins become a superstar and the Redskins offense was one of the best in the NFL. Which led him to the Rams job and well the rest is history.

But we’ll never know what would’ve happened here at Syracuse. Marrone ended up coaching four years here with the Orange and was perfectly average finishing with a collegiate coaching record of 25-25, although after hearing this news, I’d like to petition the NCAA to add one more loss to his resume. Thanks a lot, St. Doug.
