Sean McVay fought age concerns long before Mike Martz's comments
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Sean McVay has been young for every role he has ever filled. He was young when he was hired by Jon Gruden to serve as a coaching assistant immediately after college, young when he was promoted to tight ends coach for the Washington Redskins late in the 2010 season, young when he became an offensive coordinator by 2014, and especially young when the Los Angeles Rams made him their head coach on Jan. 12, 12 days before his 31st birthday.
The age concerns have always followed him.
"I've always been around the players' age," McVay said Tuesday afternoon, while responding to harsh pessimism by former Rams head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Martz.
