Sean McVay has become the most talked about head coach in the NFL in the past couple of seasons. This is due to him turning around the Los Angeles Rams franchise rather quickly.

Recently, McVay was asked about how relationships work between the head coach and front office at the NFL owner's meetings.

Here's an excerpt from what he had to say on the topic.

“We talk about accountability, in a lot of ways accountability means vulnerability,” he said. “A lot of people think you trust, and then you’re vulnerable. But if you demonstrate the ability to be vulnerable, I think that leads to trust.”

“That doesn’t necessarily mean you agree on everything,” he said. “But you have to collaborate and figure out, ‘All right, what’s best based on all the things that we’re weighing with this decision?’”

Regardless of “whatever the roles and the responsibilities are or how you allocate ’em,” McVay said, “it all goes back to communication. Everyone deserves clear and open and honest dialogue, and everybody understands, ‘OK, what do I need to get done to check off the boxes to be able to do my job at a high level.’ But also be understanding and empathetic to the other person’s perspective.”

McVay has made himself to be a head coach that everyone enjoys playing for. Thus, free agents are eager to find themselves playing for the young offensive mind with the Rams.

The relationship between head coaches and owners plus general managers is very important. There are plenty of decisions to be made that require all of these guys to communicate accordingly in the NFL.

As McVay said, everyone isn't going to agree on everything but communication is still key. With the draft rapidly approaching, the front office and coaches will need to interact with each other to decide on who to select.

Furthermore, there are plenty of decisions that require everyone to be on the same page. For example, the coach may want to select someone different than the general manager.

The two minds will talk it out and try to hash it out. They may agree or they may end up disagreeing in the end. Nonetheless, there needs to be a level of respect between the two.

Fans have always wondered h0w much the coaches and front office communicates with each other. McVay's statement gives a good insight into how the foundation of the relationship between the front office and coaches are built.
