Every Los Angeles Rams head coach ever: full list

From the very first NFL championship won back in 1945, to the "Greatest Show on Turf," to Matthew Stafford engineering an unforgettable Super Bowl run, the Los Angeles Rams have shared some wonderful moments with fans, players, coaches and their city.

While the players should receive a fair amount of praise for winning championships, let alone individual games, let us not forget the leadership which helped steer those ships over the years.

Whether it was all the way back when the franchise was founded in Cleveland in 1936, to the team's first (and second) stint in Los Angeles, or even the St. Louis days, these Rams have been home to just under 30 head coaches in their storied history. And some of those coaches were even able to help bring home the ultimate prize: a championship.

Even without a Super Bowl title or league championship, the Rams have seen plenty of head coaches come in and win football games, nonetheless. There have been 12 head coaches, to be exact, to boast winning records for the franchise.

Winners or not, how about we take a closer look at every head coach the Rams have ever had, starting all the way back where it began, in Cleveland.

You might notice there is a small gap in the year 1943, and that was due to a shortage of players during World War II. The team suspended operations for that season.

Highlighting some notable Rams head coaches

Adam Walsh

Just before their move to Los Angeles, the Rams won their first championship in 1945 and it was Adam Walsh as the man behind the curtain. As a former offensive lineman and known tough guy, Walsh would coach two years with the Rams between 1945-1946.

Fun fact: Walsh once played an entire college football game with two broken hands (h/t Sports Illustrated).

Joe Stydahar

When the Rams won their second championship in 1951, it was Joe Stydahar leading the way. Another big name around the league, Stydahar was a former offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears and had even earned five All Pro selections as a player.

Stydahar coached the Rams for two years after serving as an assistant and went to the Championship Game in both years, winning in his second campaign with the team.

Mike Martz

Ah, yes. It was "The Greatest Show on Turf," and it was led by none other than Mike Martz. The former head coach helped lead an offense quarterbacked by Kurt Warner, featuring the talents of Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce among others.

Martz and the Rams won the Super Bowl back in 2000 after going 13-3 in the regular season and seeing Kurt Warner win the MVP along with Marshall Faulk winning the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year.

Sean McVay

Known as one of the smartest offensive minds of the 21st century, Sean McVay took over the job and went on to become the youngest NFL head coach to ever win a Super Bowl, when the Rams brought it home in Super Bowl LVI over the Cincinnati Bengals.

With just six wins in the 2024 season, McVay becomes the all-time franchise leader in wins as a head coach.
