Los Angeles Rams‘ head coach Sean McVay made NFL history by becoming the youngest head coach at the age of 30 back in 2017.
The Rams have been in the playoffs six times, appearing in two Super Bowls and winning one Lombardi Trophy, since hiring McVay. LA has won 85 games under the head coach, giving the team a winning percentage of 0.614%.
As of 2025, McVay is one of the youngest head coaches in the league, but is also one of the most experienced.
Now in his ninth year with the franchise, McVay has the Rams as Super Bowl contenders. Los Angeles is 5-2 in the 2025 season and are being led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is currently playing like an MVP candidate.

The Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals when Sean McVay was 36 years old, making him the youngest head coach to win the championship.
Host Rich Eisen pointed out that McVay is one of the younger coaches in the NFL, and wondered if the coach experiences burnout and if he still enjoys his job.
“I love it,” the head coach replied.
“I think there’s been some times, Rich, that you know and we’ve talked about that I went through, where you lose perspective,” McVay added. “You come in and you’re so young, you have that unobstructed mind. You don’t even know the things to worry about… And then in the midst of that journey, you can almost lose sight of it and you get caught up in, ‘hey, this is about being transformational, not transactional.’”
“When you get hired at 30 years old, I made a ton of mistakes. There’s been some things you want to replicate, but I think I have a healthier perspective on what a blessing this is and how much I love this game and how many blessings it’s brought me.”
Sean McVay was the offensive coordinator with the Washington Commanders, previously as the Redskins, for three seasons before being hired as the head coach for the NFC West team.
The Rams’ playcaller has only one losing season with the organization in eight full seasons.

The Los Angeles Rams made a good choice when hiring Sean McVay.
As mentioned, he coached the team to a Super Bowl win and many other playoff appearances. McVay is considered one of the best head coaches in the league, with one of the largest coaching trees in the NFL at such a young age.
The head coach has expressed his gratitude for working in the NFL and the various people around him.
“But most importantly, the people I’ve been able to develop relationships in the midst of this journey, the impact you want to make,” McVay said. “I love this job, but most importantly, I love the people that I’m doing this with.”
“I love these players, I love the coaches, love working with [general manager] Les Snead going into year nine… I think there was moments when I got a little bit misguided and I wasn’t the person I want to be… but there’s a much more healthier perspective and appreciation for what this job is.”
McVay’s contract with the Rams runs through the 2026 season.
