When Sean McVay was named head coach of the Rams in 2017 at the age of 30, he wasn’t just young—he was historic. The NFL, a league defined by tradition and experience, suddenly had its youngest head coach in the modern era. Skeptics questioned whether he had the authority, maturity, and tactical acumen to manage a locker room of seasoned veterans.
He silenced critics almost immediately. By 2018, he had led the Rams to a Super Bowl appearance. By 2022, he became the youngest head coach ever to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, cementing his reputation as a generational strategist.
