Scott Zolak: I’d be interested in Sean McVay if Bill Belichick leaves
While discussing potential successors for Bill Belichick, Scott Zolak admitted he’d be interested in Sean McVay coming to the Patriots.
That would be a big fish…
Scott Zolak: If you’re getting rid of Bill (Belichick) and you’re getting rid of (Jerod) Mayo, you’re probably getting rid of the front office too. That’s paying a lot of people.
Marc Bertrand: It’s going to be a big bill to foot. But really, what choice do they have? What choice are they going to be left with, with the way this looks.
Hardy: You’re talking about a lot of contracts that they’re going to have to pay out, but they’ll almost certainly be saving money in whatever they pay the new GM and head coach.
Scott Zolak: What if it’s Sean McVay though? A guy like that or some young, you know, offensive guy that has proven himself elsewhere.
Hardy: The combined salaries of the new GM and head coach are not going to be $25 million.
Marc Bertrand: No, they won’t. Even if you do get a superstar like McVay.
Hardy: It’s not going be $20 million.
Marc Bertrand: What does he make now?
Scott Zolak: He’s up there, like he’s in the high teens because Amazon offered him $30 million to do color.
Marc Bertrand: But you’re not going to pay a GM $8 million a year.
Scott Zolak: Right, Nick (Caserio) didn’t make that.
Marc Bertrand: So ithat’s not going to happen, but if you actually do something big and drastic and go all in on trying to get a guy like Sean McVay, which would then take draft Capital Zo to get him out of his deal, to get him here.
Scott Zolak: What are you gonna give up a top 5 pick?
Marc Bertrand: I only think his name is worth throwing around because he’s expressed some displeasure with his job there and I don’t know that he loves it there. He almost left.
Scott Zolak: He already almost retired at his age. At 38. Burned out at 38, are you? Yeah, but that’s like a guy that if you’re definitely moving on from Bill that I’d kind of be interested in because you know you’re getting a pretty good coach.
Marc Bertrand: It’s a big name.
Scott Zolak: You’re not getting some like young schlep that’s never had a head coaching job, you know, Nick Sirianni or something. But hey, it’s working in Philly.
