McVay walking away from football anytime soon would be wild and a big loss for the sport. The dude is an elite coach and a trailblazer being the youngest head coach ever hired.
Going on TV means equivalent or better pay with far fewer hours to work. He could step away for 5 or even 10 years and still be reasonably young enough to coach for 15-20 more years if he wanted.
I wouldn't go that far, top coaches make 10-15 mil a year in the NFL. Few guys in sports media are paid that much. Gruden was making about 10 mil a year I believe, and he was one of the highest if not the highest paid tv personality at ESPN.
