Sean McVay

Head Coach, Los Angeles Rams

Head Coach

Calling plays for LAR since 2017

Play-calling authority

98%

The league's consensus No. 1 caller enters a tenth straight season as undisputed scheme architect and play caller; the OC title (now Nate Scheelhaase) is a game-plan and process role, exactly as it was under his predecessors.

Tendencies

PaceFaster McVay in 2025: ~26.7 sec/snap (13th), an intentional tempo bump; little no-huddle
Early downsPass-leaning behind Stafford: positive PROE (~top-10), even from heavy personnel
Target treeHyper-concentrated: Nacua and Adams devour targets; WR3s and TEs fight for crumbs
SlotNo dedicated slot WR; Nacua took a career-high ~42% slot snaps as 13 personnel erased the WR3 role
MotionStill motion-rich (~63%) with signature cheat/jet motion, now often run by tight ends
Red zoneAdams is the end-zone hammer (NFL-high 14 TDs); Kyren Williams handles the goal line
AlsoPivoted to an NFL-high ~45% 13 personnel from midseason; ~21% play-action, condensed under-center sets
Who benefitsAlpha target-hog WRs, red-zone WRs, bell-cow backs, ascending 13-personnel TEs

Based on: 2025 Rams offense (9th+ year calling)
