The Los Angeles Rams have gone all-in to win a Super Bowl this season, and a recently fired head coach appears to want to see how a championship-caliber organization approaches training camp.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Sean McDermott is visiting the Rams on Friday. It appears McDermott will visit a few NFL teams this summer to gain ideas about how other teams conduct their business.

"Former Bills head coach Sean McDermott is visiting today with the Los Angeles Rams," Schefter posted on X. "McDermott is using his off time to see how a few teams such as the Rams operate."

McDermott was an excellent regular season coach, leading the Bills to the playoffs eight times during his nine years with the team despite the roster undergoing serious changes in his final few seasons. However, Buffalo fired him after losing the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round in overtime.

McDermott was unable to make the Super Bowl with quarterback Josh Allen and went 8-8 in the playoffs.

With a 98-50 record with the Bills, McDermott should be in high demand during the next hiring cycle.

During an interview with The Athletic this spring, McDermott said he wanted to evolve as a leader.

“People who are leaders, who think they have all the answers and aren’t asking questions, are the ones, I feel like, that run into trouble sooner or later, just in terms of not being the best versions of themselves," McDermott said.

"So, I’m passionate about that; passionate about growing and evolving, and I think the NFL is so competitive, and you’ve got to be continually asking yourself, ‘What, why, how?’ If you want to continue to be successful, it’s in the margins.”

The Rams are a good place for McDermott to start his quest. Los Angeles won the Super Bowl in 2021 and made the NFC Championship Game in January.

After trading for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie (and amid speculation Aaron Donald could return), the Rams are a favorite to win the Super Bowl this season.
