In Los Angeles, stability reigns. The Rams on Monday confirmed that head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead have both signed multiyear contract extensions, keeping one of the NFL’s most effective partnerships intact for years to come.
McVay, who celebrated his 40th birthday last week, has quietly become one of the league’s most successful young coaches. Since taking the reins in 2017, he has led the Rams to a 92-57 record, seven playoff appearances, and two Super Bowl trips, including the memorable victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. Snead, who has been with the organization since 2012, has built a roster capable of sustaining success even amid uncertainty about quarterback Matthew Stafford’s future. Last season, the Rams finished 12-5, advanced to the NFC Championship Game, and proved they remain among the NFL’s elite.
“It means a lot,” McVay said, reflecting on the new deal. “I’m just really grateful. Opportunities like this don’t present themselves if you’re not around great people—ownership, players, coaches, the leadership group—they all deserve a ton of credit. I’m excited to continue building with them moving forward.”
Snead has quietly engineered the roster behind the scenes, including last year’s trade with Atlanta that netted the Rams two first-round picks this April, setting the stage for another pivotal offseason. His approach, combined with McVay’s offensive brilliance, has created one of the league’s most consistent and competitive organizations.
Rams owner E. Stanley Kroenke praised the duo for shaping the team’s identity and sustaining a championship culture. “As we enter their 10th season together, it is only fitting to reflect on the tremendous success Sean and Les have brought to this franchise,” Kroenke said. “They continue to embody the standard of this franchise to compete for championships… their collaboration embodies the ‘We Then Me’ ethos we seek in our players, coaches, and staff.”
With McVay and Snead locked in, the Rams can focus on the future: a talented roster, draft flexibility, and a championship window that still looks wide open in Los Angeles.
