Rams talk with Sean McVay again — will they name a coach Thursday?

By Gary Klein

The Rams moved closer Wednesday to hiring a new head coach, interviewing Washington offensive coordinator Sean McVay for the second time.

He is the prime focus of their coaching search, and it is possible they could hire McVay as soon as Thursday.

A second interview served as the immediate precursor for two NFL coaches hired Wednesday, Vance Joseph by the Denver Broncos and Sean McDermott by the Buffalo Bills.

McVay, 30, would become the youngest coach in NFL history.

The Rams, San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers are still in the hunt for a head coach — with a shrinking candidate pool of NFL assistants.

McVay was the first assistant to earn a follow-up meeting with the Rams, who have conducted eight known interviews. Houston Texans linebacker coach Mike Vrabel is scheduled for this week.

The Rams also are scheduled to meet with Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, architect of the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, after the Falcons’ playoff game at home Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks.
