It seems there’s there is a credible report—domestically or internationally—about Matthew Stafford serving as head coach, making a detrimental team decision, or resigning from such a role. In fact, all recent and established sources confirm Stafford remains quarterback for the Rams, actively under contract through 2026, not coaching or stepping down
What We Know — and What Isn’t Happening
- Stafford is a player, not a coach: Every official reference, including team statements and trusted news outlets, confirms Stafford as the Rams’ starting quarterback. He has not taken on any coaching role .
- Contract status: He recently agreed to a restructured deal keeping him in L.A. through the 2025 season, with the team committed to year-to-year terms extending to 2026 . There’s zero mention of a resignation or departure.
- Team stability: Head Coach Sean McVay and Rams’ leadership have repeatedly stressed that keeping Stafford was always their “end goal,” and his return brought relief to the organization
Possible Explanations for the Mix-Up
- A viral hoax or parody: The phrase “SHOCKING NEWS: head coach Matthew Stafford” seems like a classic clickbait twist or satirical fabrication—Stafford isn’t a coach.
- Misattribution of identities: Someone might’ve confused Stafford’s high-profile player role with that of a coach, or mixed headlines between players and coaching staff.
Bottom Line
- Zero factual basis exists for Stafford making a “shocking decision as head coach,” harming the team, or resigning.
- He remains QB No. 1 for the Rams, fully active and committed for the 2025 season and beyond.
- No organizational shock or acceptance of resignation—plenty of relief, yes, but no major drama
