The NFL coaching carousel always brings surprises, and the first couple of weeks of the 2023 cycle have been no different in that regard. For the moment, some of the big surprises have been based on what hasn't happened, as opposed to what has.
Sean McVay's long-speculated-upon exit from the Rams sideline never materialized, with McVay indicating to the team he's returning to Los Angeles despite having allowed his assistants to job hunt. Elsewhere in the City of Angels, Brandon Staley's seat was perceived to be red-hot after the Chargers' meltdown in Jacksonville on Saturday, but it now appears that multiple Staley assistants and not the head coach himself will be sacrificed after the loss.
