Coaching profile at Pro Football Reference

Sean Patrick McVay (born January 24, 1986) is an American professional football coach who is the head coach for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He became the youngest NFL head coach in the modern era when he was hired by the Rams in 2017 at the age of 30 years and 353 days. McVay is also the youngest head coach to reach and win a Super Bowl as well as be named NFL Coach of the Year. Prior to his tenure in Los Angeles, McVay worked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an offensive assistant, the Florida Tuskers as the wide receivers coach, and the Washington Redskins as an offensive assistant, the tight ends coach, and the offensive coordinator.

Within his first year, McVay turned a Rams team that had the league's lowest scoring offense the previous year into the top-scoring team of 2017. The season also marked the Rams' first winning record and division title since 2003 and first playoff appearance since 2004. Over the following seasons, McVay led the Rams to an appearance in Super Bowl LIII in 2018, a victory in Super Bowl LVI in 2021, the franchise's first world championship since 1999, and became the winningest head coach in Rams' history in 2024. His success in Los Angeles is credited with spawning the "Sean McVay effect", in which NFL teams were more inclined to hire younger, offensive-minded head coaches.
