Sean McVay’s offensive coordinators continue an incredible streak

The Rams did not employ a single offensive coordinator in 2018 and 2019, instead separating the duties among multiple offensive assistants. One of the coaches on his 2018 staff, Zac Taylor, also went on to become a head coach with the Cincinnati Bengals.

There are plenty of reasons that teams keep going back to McVay’s coaching tree when seeking a new head coach. McVay has proven himself capable of adapting and putting together high-powered offenses for roughly a decade now. Perhaps more importantly, the former assistants have proven successful. Matt LaFleur is 76-40-1 with the Green Bay Packers, O’Connell is 43-25 with two playoff appearances in four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, and Coen guided the Jacksonville Jaguars to the playoffs in his first season on the job.

Perhaps the wildest part of all is that McVay has done all this before turning 40, not that he wants a reminder of that. People will likely be keeping a close eye on who the Rams hire as offensive coordinator next, because that person will probably be getting head coach interviews pretty quickly.
