Sean McVay might have changed the way NFL teams look at head coaches forever. When the Los Angeles Rams named him their head coach less than one year ago, there was legitimate shock in some league circles. Not as much in that other teams around the NFL didn’t believe in McVay’s talent, but rather there was feeling that the Rams had the guts to make a move — hiring a head coach who had not yet turned 31 years old — that few other teams would.
McVay not only was young, but he also had limited play-calling experience in Washington the season prior.
