Los Angeles Rams Hope Risk of Hiring Sean McVay Pays Off

After scheduling a second meeting one week following a successful interview, it seemed to be only a matter of time before the Los Angeles Rams named Sean McVay their next head coach. Now, it looks like the Rams have found themselves in the history book by making the former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator the youngest head coach ever.

The 30-year-old McVay was officially hired by Los Angeles on Thursday as he looks to help turn around an offense that finished at the bottom of the league in 2016 by averaging just 14 points per game. Between the addition of Jared Goff at quarterback along with Todd Gurley coming off a very successful rookie season, this was supposed to be the year in which the Rams’ offense showed improvement, but that obviously was far from the case.
