Sean McVay: NFL's Top Coach for 2026 Season

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. Sean McVeigh just got crowned the top coach in the NFL, heading into the 20-26 season. NBC Sports analyst Patrick Doggerty ranked all 32 head coaches and put the Ransbaus at number 1, bumping last year's number 2 spot, and passing Chiefs legend Andy Reed. McVeigh burst onto the scene, back in 2017, when he got hired at just 30 years old. He snagged coach of the year in his first season, took the Rams to the Super Bowl in year 2, and won it all in his fifth year on the job. Lately, he's kept the Rams into playoffs for three straight seasons after a rough 2022 rebuild. Nobody saw postseason runs coming in 2023, or last year was such a young squad, but they delivered the league's number 1 offense and bowed out to the eventual Super Bowl winners both times. It stands out as how McVeigh flips the script, no matter the roster star power or late round gyms. His schemes keep evolving, like shifting to heavier personnel packages last season to keep defenses guessing.

1:05That kind of adaptability seals why he's the king of the coaching game right now, setting the Rams up for another deep run.
