When the Los Angeles Rams decided to hire the youngest head coach in NFL history and signed Sean McVay, they were taking a big chance. Sure, he was bright, innovative and personable, but now he would be tasked with full control over players who were not only older than him, they had more NFL seasons under their belt.
The big chance has paid off, big time. After his first five seasons, at 68.13 percent, McVay is the winningest Rams coach in their storied history. In total wins, he only trails John Robinson (79) and Chuck Knox (72) and could pass them both this season, certainly Knox.
