LA Rams head coach Sean McVay is chasing Super Bowls and history

The superlatives for LA Rams head coach Sean McVay from LA Rams fans are never-ending and for good reason. At the youthful age of 36 years old, McVay has been and will continue to be the face of excellence in professional football.

McVay has an infectious personality and a drive that is visible when the Rams are on the field or in the locker room. His play calling is impeccable, and players from other teams on either side of the football know that an opportunity to play for the LA Rams can change the trajectory of a career.

The Rams are playing in that rarified air where winning a Super Bowl could happen any season over the next few years. With a deep pool of talent on offense and defense, those opportunities to raise another Lombardi Trophy seem only to be a matter of ‘when’.

That said, the national media doesn’t even see the LA Rams as the odds-on favorite to win a championship this season.  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600) are the odds favorite to win Super Bowl LVII, followed by the Rams’ Week 1 opponent, the Buffalo Bills (+650). The LA Rams are tied with the  Kansas City Chiefs and then the Green Bay Packers (+1000).

Currently, the LA Rams are a dead heat in their  Thursday night home and season opener facing the Buffalo Bills.

McVay and the LA Rams are approaching greatness

McVay, despite the current prognostications, is a coach already approaching greatness. He is among the winningest active coaches in the league to take his team to the Super Bowl twice, having achieved that feat in only five seasons.

Bill Belichick, the dean of NFL coaches sits atop the list with nine championship appearances in 27 seasons. After Belichick, it’s Andy Reid, followed by McVay, Mike Tomlin, and Pete Carroll.

Given the star-power on the LA Rams roster, the Rams are the signature team in a city that boasts names like Lebron James of the LA Lakers, and LA Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw.

Not long ago, the city of Los Angeles was all about USC Football. Their players had the kind of name recognition that was at the national level. Now, it’s about the LA Rams and their signature stars headlined by Sean McVay.

Rams football has arrived, and so long as McVay is running the show, everyone else is playing for second best.
