Sean McVay turns 40 with a new perspective on football and the same dreams for his Los Angeles Rams
January 23, 2026
Sean McVay will spend his 40th birthday on Saturday in the exact same way he spent the vast majority of his 30s. He’ll be preparing the Los Angeles Rams to play their hearts out. This year, he’ll be working to get the Rams ready for the NFC championship game against Seattle. If they win, he’ll become the youngest head coach to reach three Super Bowls. McVay has been the “youngest” and the “first” to a jaw-dropping number of accomplishments since he took over the Rams as a 30-year-old prodigy. He’s still at the top of his profession, but the father of two young sons has a new perspective on what that means.
