Sean McVay isn’t done building out his staff, even with the season rapidly approaching. After practice on Thursday, McVay told reporters that he hired former Washington coach Jay Gruden as a consultant for the Rams.
Gruden was out in Cincinnati for the two days of joint practices, but McVay said he’ll be working remotely. McVay and Gruden have a long-standing relationship that dates back to their time together in Tampa Bay.
McVay and Gruden were both on Jon Gruden’s staff with the Buccaneers in 2008, each working as offensive assistants. From 2014-2016, McVay worked on Jay Gruden’s staff when Gruden was the head coach. McVay was the tight ends coach from 2011-2013, but Gruden kept him on in 2014 as his offensive coordinator.
Gruden was last with the Jaguars as their offensive coordinator in 2020, but he was let go along with Doug Marrone after the season ended.
