However, McVay was quick to rectify the situation. The Rams head coach reached out to Bill Belichick and Cole Strange to clear his stance on the situation.

Sean McVay claimed that the situation was misunderstood

Sean McVay, the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, called Bill Belichick and Cole Strange. Talking about the conversation, he said, “I wish that it wouldn’t have gotten misunderstood,” McVay said. “It was more of a reflection of, I was actually giving Les a hard time because when we started watching him, I think we both were in agreement, there’s no way he’d be there (at 104) because we like the player so much.” 

McVay further talked about how much respect he has for coach Bill Belichick. He added, “If there’s anybody that has more respect for Coach Belichick and what he’s done than I do, I’d like to see them because I have tremendous respect for this profession and the players that play at this level and I would never want it to get misunderstood for Cole Strange or the Patriots organization that anything but respect for the player. That was my reaction and any misunderstanding was my fault for the way I probably communicated that.”

Indeed, the whole situation was a misunderstanding, and it was fair on McVay’s part that he cleared it out immediately. Sean McVay is a brilliant coach and an even better person. Unsurprisingly, all of his players always speak highly of him. He will be looking ahead to the upcoming season, as he would love to repeat as a Super Bowl champion.
