Sean McVay — Los Angeles Rams Head Coach

Sean McVay, head coach of the Los Angeles Rams since 2017. Entering his 10th season in 2026 after leading the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2022 and playoff appearances in seven of nine seasons. Known for high-flying offensive systems and ability to develop quarterbacks.

Quick Facts

2026 Outlook

McVay enters 2026 reaffirming Matthew Stafford as his starting QB "as long as he wants to play." Stafford just completed an MVP season (4,707 passing yards, leading the league). McVay has drafted a potential successor (Stetson Simpson, 13th overall, 2026) to plan for the future without immediate urgency. McVay's biggest acknowledged regret in his Rams tenure is not how he handled the Jared Goff trade (which yielded a Super Bowl), but his communication approach in delivering the news to Goff. The comment suggests continued confidence in his current roster and strategic clarity moving forward. (per Sean McVay shares his biggest regret as Los Angeles Rams head coach)

Scheme and Tendencies

McVay runs a high-paced, receiver-heavy offense with emphasis on outside receivers and YAC. Known for creative play-calling and scheme-based advantages for wide receivers. Strong play-action tendencies; favorable for target-volume pass-catchers like Davante Adams and Puka Nacua.
