LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have decided on their new head coach, hiring 30-year-old Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay on Thursday.

McVay, who turns 31 on Jan. 24, will replace Jeff Fisher and become the youngest head coach since Art "Pappy" Lewis for the Cleveland Rams, who took the job in 1938 at 27 years old, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

"I am incredibly honored by this opportunity and I want to start by thanking Mr. [Stan] Kroenke and Kevin Demoff for their faith in me to lead the Los Angeles Rams as head coach," McVay said in a statement. "Collectively, we are committed to building a championship caliber team, and I'm excited to start that process and make our fans proud."

The Rams were so enthused with McVay that they agreed to hire him without first sitting down with Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who was considered one of the favorites when the process began.

McVay has spent the past three years running the Redskins' offense and has been crucial in the development of quarterback Kirk Cousins. The Rams are hopeful that he can do the same with 2016 No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff and vastly improve a woeful offense that has gained the fewest yards in the NFL in each of the past two years.

This x's eleventy billion...

The NFL's obsession with recycling the trash from franchise to franchise because of the good ol boy system really is nauseating... It makes the product stale and predictable.

Why?

He's been around coaching his entire life and his grandfather helped to build the 49ers, which resulted in 5 Super Bowl victories.

Sounds an awful lot like Todd Haley.

Did this guy at least play a sport other than golf growing up?

If he can do that, it might be the best move for him.

No idea.

He's been in the NFL for nine years, serving as an OC for the past 3 years. That's a pretty good resume.

But I think the main reason he was hired is because is the belief that he can "fix" Jared Goff.

The NFC West has fallen off quite a bit in the past few years so with a few good drafts, the Rams could vault to the top before the new stadium opens in 2019.

Ya never know? Jon Gruden, Tomlin and Andy Reid were all fairly young when they got their first HC gig.

Just being a pessimist because I don't like the Lambs. I don't really care either way really. :)
