Sean McVay’s name is already mentioned amongst the best head coaches in all of NFL history. Since becoming the lead man for the Los Angeles Rams (+4) in 2017, McVay took an organization very familiar with losing to two Super Bowls and to the playoffs in four of his five seasons. Even in 2019 when the team failed to make the playoffs, they still finished with a winning record. At age 36 he’s still the youngest member of the current head coaching ranks.
It took a catastrophic string of injuries and unfortunate luck to bring McVay’s momentum back to earth, and it’s likely the Rams are on the outside looking in on the playoffs in 2022. Offensive linemen that were never intended to see the field, or were even on the roster at the start of the year, have been thrust into the starting lineup. Matthew Stafford missed the most important game of the year because he was in the NFL’s concussion protocol. The defensive secondary has also been a revolving door, losing players such as Jordan Fuller, Troy Hill, David Long, Taylor Rapp, Cobie Durant, and Grant Haley at various points this season.
