Sean McVay is an **NFL head coach** who became the youngest head coach in modern NFL history when he was hired by the Los Angeles Rams in January 2017 at age 30 years and 353 days.[2] Born on January 24, 1986, in Omaha, Nebraska, McVay has established himself as one of football's most innovative offensive minds.[1] McVay began his coaching career in 2008 as an assistant wide receivers coach under Jon Gruden with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[2] He progressed through various assistant coaching roles, including stints with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League in 2009 and the Washington Redskins starting in 2010.[3] By 2014, he became the Redskins' offensive coordinator, where he helped develop quarterback Kirk Cousins into a franchise player and led the team to set franchise records for offensive production in 2016.[3] When McVay took over the Rams in 2017, he inherited a struggling franchise with the league's lowest-ranked offense.[3] His impact was immediate and transformative. In his first season, he guided the Rams to an 11-5 record, the franchise's first playoff appearance since 2004, and won the NFL Coach of the Year award.[1][2] Within his first year, McVay transformed the Rams into the league's top-scoring offense.[2] Over his nine seasons as head coach, McVay compiled a 92-57 record and led the Rams to multiple playoff appearances.[1] His most significant achievement came in 2021 when the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI, making McVay the **youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl**.[3] The Rams also reached Super Bowl LIII in 2018.[2] Additionally, McVay coached multiple award-winning players, including Aaron Donald, who won AP Defensive Player of the Year three times under his leadership.[1] Through the 2025 season, McVay remains one of the NFL's most successful and influential coaches, known for his strategic innovation and ability to develop talent.[1]
