Re: An inside look at Rams coach Sean McVay's Super Bowl homecoming

After the Rams defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a divisional-round playoff game Jan. 12, Chris Ashkouti was inside the office of McVay's Los Angeles-area home. The setup is practically identical to his office at the team's practice facility. But there are books -- leadership books -- stacked from floor to ceiling.
"Behind the scenes," Chris Ashkouti said, "he's kind of a dork.
"I'm like shuffling through these stacks of books and I'm like, 'You've read all these?' And he's like, 'I've read them all.' He's like, 'This one,' -- and he'll give me a comment, 'I love this about this book. The way this guy talks about this. If you read one, I highly recommend you get this one.' ... I'm like, 'You are crazy, man. You. Are. Crazy.'"
McVay said his favorite book is "The Score Takes Care of Itself" by Bill Walsh.
Maybe hidden in those books is the secret to how McVay quickly orchestrated a masterful turnaround of a moribund team coming off a four-win season.
When in the world does he find time to read?
