Thirtysomething 49ers? Sean Mcvay Bids To Become Nfl’s Youngest Coach

... roots to the 49 ers Super Bowl-winning dynasty, as the grandson of former 49 ers front-office maestro John Mc Vay. Sean Mc Vay further developed his coaching acumen under the tutelage of brothers Jon and Jay Gruden. Jon was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach when he gave him his NFL start as a wide receivers assistant in 2008; Jay coaches Washington, which promoted Mc Vay from tight ends coach in 2015. Washington’s offense went from 17 th to third in total yards this season. Only two other NFL coaches were hired before age 32: Harland Svare, 1962 Rams; Lane Kiffin, 2007 Raiders. The 49 ers have already interviewed three  possible coaches: Anthony Lynn (Buffalo Bills interim coach), Kyle Shanahan (Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator) and Josh Mc Daniels (New England Patriots OC). Sean Mc Dermott (Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator) is due up Tuesday, and other expected ...

Rams Have A New Leading Man In Coach Sean Mcvay

... a decade in our league are impressive. “We are confident in his vision to make this team a consistent winner and we will all continue to work together to achieve our ultimate goal — bringing a Rams Super Bowl championship home to Los Angeles.”. Mc Vay, who will turn 31 on Jan. 24, is about eight months younger than Lane Kiffin was when he was hired by the Oakland Raiders in 2007. Mc Vay is essentially in the same age demographic as his players. Rams defensive end William Hayes , at 31, is older than Mc Vay, who was hired to turn around a team that finished 4-12 this season while averaging an NFL-worst 262.7 yards and 14 points per game. Mc Vay’s most important task: developing quarterback Jared Goff , the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft. The Rams have not had a winning season since 2003 and have not made the playoffs since 2004. Kevin Demoff, vice president of football operations, had said the Rams would not limit their search. They formally interviewed eight candidates before selecting Mc Vay. “I am incredibly honored by this opportunity and I want to start by thanking Mr. Kroenke and Kevin Demoff for their faith in ...

Rams Take Leap Of Faith In Sean Mcvay Hiring

... days old on Sept. 10, 2017, the day the Rams are scheduled to open their regular season, at which point Mc Vay will become the youngest NFL head coach since a 27-year-old named Art "Pappy" Lewis took over the Cleveland Rams in 1938. The Rams don't care about any of that, nor should they. They began this process with a commitment to open-mindedness and demonstrated that with the choice they ultimately made. Mc Vay has lineage - his grandfather is John Mc Vay, who was a successful executive with the 49 ers. Sean Mc Vay also has experience, starting with a job coaching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ' wide receivers in 2008, while Rams COO Kevin Demoff, the man who led this search, worked in the Bucs' front office. The head coach then was Jon Gruden, who reportedly gave Mc Vay his highest recommendation. After a one-year stint as an assistant in the now-defunct United Football League, Mc Vay joined the Redskins, progressing from assistant head coach to offensive coordinator. In his three years running the offense, Washington averaged 371.9 yards per game, ...

Rams Taking A Close Look At Redskins' Mcvay For Head Coach Job

... report, the Rams will add Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator. Tough day for the Redskins. Wade Phillips has agreed to terms to become Rams defensive coordinator, per source. — Adam Schefter (@Adam Schefter) January 13, 2017. Losing Mc Vay is a blow for Washington, as he called the plays for the No. 3 ranked Redskins offense, but it's not totally unexpected. While the Redskins never had Phillips as a defensive coordinator, many thought he might be a fit for the team after Joe Barry was dismissed. In 2015, Phillips interviewed with Washington before Barry was hired. Further, his son Wes coaches tight ends for the 'Skins. Jay Gruden now has a coaching staff that lacks both an offensive and a defensive coordinator. Many expect the 'Skins will promote from within to replace Mc Vay, but the defensive coordinator ...

Rams Set To Interview Sean Mcvay For Head Coaching Job

... 2017. In case you missed it. Charley Casserly: Why Sean Mc Vay is right for Rams. The Redskins season ended just 12 days ago, and a lot about the team has changed — not to mention the potential changes that could still very well happen. Sean Mc Vay and Joe Barry, the offensive and defensive coordinators of the last two seasons, won't be back for 2017. Meanwhile, the Redskins and Kirk Cousins are at a standstill, and there seems to be a decent shot Washington loses both of its top receivers, too, in De Sean Jackson and Pierre Garçon. Yes, it's still very early; once the coordinator jobs are filled, once the Cousins situation is given more time and once the NFL Draft is completed, things could look a whole lot better. However, as things stand now, there is a lot of uncertainty with the Burgundy and Gold. So, should there be a level of concern about the way the ...

... and is currently an analyst on ESPN; and Jimmy Raye III, who has been the Indianapolis Colts’ vice president of football operations the past four seasons. Paton has worked under Vikings general manager Rick Spielman for 10 seasons and also worked with Spielman in Chicago and Miami. Raye, 48, who spent 17 years in the Chargers’ personnel department, is the son of former 49 ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye. The interview with the younger Raye is scheduled for next week. Riddick, 47, got his NFL start with the 49 ers when they drafted him as a safety out of Pittsburgh in 1991. He spent seven seasons with four teams, ending his career with the Raiders in 1998. He became an NFL scout in 2001 with Washington and eventually moved to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. He was Philadelphia’s director of pro personnel from 2010-13, at which point he joined ESPN. Riddick’s interview reportedly will take place next week in New York. Earlier this week, Riddick said on ESPN the 49 ers’ head-coach opening was ...

Rams Make Miami Grad Sean Mcvay Youngest Nfl Head Coach

... their 13 th consecutive non-winning season. The Rams made the eye-catching move on the same day that the Chargers announced their relocation to Los Angeles to share the Rams’ $2.6 billion stadium. The Chargers are still without a coach, but the Rams grabbed headlines with one of the most interesting names on the coaching market. Mc Vay wowed the Rams’ top brass during two recent interviews, but he is an unorthodox choice for the franchise, which hasn’t taken many extraordinary risks during owner Stan Kroenke’s tenure. While Mc Vay is respected as an up-and-coming NFL mind, he has understandably meager experience, including none as a head coach. But perhaps risks are in order to snap the Rams out of their 12-year playoff drought. They’ve made the playoffs just four times in the last 27 years, all during a five-year span in St. Louis from 1999-2003, and they haven’t had a winning record in Los Angeles since 1989. Los Angeles has a young roster, but Mc Vay is still younger than two of the Rams’ ...

Rams, Sean Mcvay; Broncos, Vance Joseph

... youngest head coach in the league. He’s been training for it under Gruden. “I’m sure,” Gruden told our Andy Benoit last summer , “he’ll be a head coach a lot sooner than people think.” If Mc Vay’s the call over Houston assistant Mike Vrabel or Buffalo interim coach Anthony Lynn (the Rams loved Lynn when they spoke Sunday), he’ll have to build a veteran staff to help him negotiate the stuff he doesn’t know. But the prospect of Mc Vay, who helped tutor Kirk Cousins into respectability, working with top 2016 pick Jared Goff might be most attractive to the Rams. Keep in mind that owner Stan Kroenke has to approve all hires, and he hasn’t met with the youngster yet. So set nothing in stone here. • LE’VEON BELL BREAKS FREE: The Steelers’ star back is also the NFL’s best rapper. • San Diego. The Chargers favor a candidate with head-coaching experience, which gives former Falcons coach Mike Smith (seven-year mark in Atlanta: 67-50) a leg up. But that’s not a must. The choice will have to be flexible, in case the franchise moves to the Los Angeles ‘burbs this fall and plays as an orphan for two years ...
