Sean McVay's plan to succeed as youngest coach: Don't do it aloneAlden Gonzalez
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Sean McVay has never really slept well. His mind races constantly, so he spends most of his nights tossing and turning, waking up almost every hour and finally lifting himself out of bed before the sun rises.
"But this has been a week where I’ve gotten a little less sleep," McVay said. "I'm a little more irritable than normal."
McVay's Los Angeles Rams begin their season this weekend, so irritability is probably justified. They'll kick off against the Indianapolis Colts at 1:05 p.m. P.T. on Sunday, at which point McVay will officially become the youngest head coach in a game in modern NFL history. He is less than eight months removed from his 31st birthday, and history hasn't necessarily been kind to those who came before him.
