MORE : Rams outlook with Nate Scheelhaase at OC After a decade as a coach in college and the NFL, Scheelhaase was promoted to the Rams' offensive coordinator job, becoming a key offensive voice for a Super Bowl-contending Rams team. He's three years younger than Stafford and five years younger than McVay. It's a fairly young offensive braintrust in Los Angeles, but there's reason to be confident in the new OC. Teams around the NFL interviewed him for head coach positions this offseason. While he didn't land a job, that interest is a sign that teams aren't worried about his age, so Rams fans shouldn't be worried either. While the age dynamic with the Rams, in a 40-year-old head coach in McVay, a 38-year-old QB in Stafford, and a 35-year-old OC in Scheelhaase, is interesting, there should be no concern for Rams fans that this won't work in 2026. McVay is a great head coach, Stafford is on his way to the Hall of Fame and Scheelhaase, as evidenced by his head coaching interest, is an ascending coach in the NFL.
