Sean McVay’s impact on the Los Angeles Rams’ offense was felt immediately in his first season as the head coach in 2017. The Rams became the first team in the Super Bowl era to go from scoring the fewest points to the most points in one year, a remarkable turnaround in Year 1 at the helm.
That immediately led to McVay being called an offensive genius for the way he drew up plays and schemed guys open on that side of the ball. That tagline has stuck with McVay ever since, and while he probably won’t complain about being called a genius, Andrew Whitworth says it’s almost an insult.
Why? Because McVay is much more than just a bright offensive coach. He’s the best leader Whitworth has ever been around. On “The Pivot Podcast,” Whitworth explained what it was like playing for McVay and shared what makes him such a great leader.
