IMO this has a low chance of success. To leave the team and sit out a year, refuse to disclose why to your teammates (and clearly there is no way McVay told them or it would long ago have leaked out) and then want to come back to the ultimate team leadership position?
Playing well is only one factor. Bennett has much to overcome to convince his coaches and teammates that he can be trusted with such a responsibility. Fool me once, bad on you. Fool me twice, bad on me. And McVay knows that if Bennett makes the team, and they are counting on him, and then bolts again, McVay loses a lot of credibility.
I just don't think we ought to expect much.
