Who are Sean McVay's parents? Rams HC comes from a proud footballing family

San Francisco 49ers v Los Angeles Rams
Head coach Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams

Sean McVay is the Los Angeles Rams' head coach. When the Rams appointed him in 2017 at 30, he became the NFL's youngest coach in the modern era. McVay is the youngest head coach to have won a Super Bowl. He has made two Super Bowls (winning one) and has received the AP NFL Coach of the Year award.

McVay was born into a footballing family. His grandfather, John McVay, was a key figure for the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980's. Sean McVay's early involvement with football contributed to the why, at 30 years old, he was the youngest coach ever hired to run an NFL team.

McVay's proud parents, Tim and Cindy McVay, still have photos and accolades of their son displayed on the wall. Tim McVay has experience playing defensive back for Indiana University. He recorded 178 tackles in his three seasons of playing at IU. His best season came in 1977 as a senior when he had 83 tackles and two pass interceptions.

Sean McVay's parents are both former IU students. They married in Evansville, Indiana, after meeting at the school. Tim McVay worked at Cox Media for a very long period. He was employed in Atlanta as the VP/General Manager of Channel 2 WSB-TV before his retirement, which was the year Sean was hired as the Rams' head coach.

Tim and Cindy McVay are currently not accessible on any social media sites. We don't know much about Cindy McVay. Sean McVay once said that his mother had objected to the language he used while watching the game. Coaches have been known to use a few choice phrases to drive their points home to the players. Cindy was shown the video after cameras captured him cursing following a Rams game. She disapproved of the display.

Who is John McVay, Sean McVay's grandfather?

Sean's grandfather, John McVay, introduced him to football when he was little. He led the New York Giants as head coach from 1976 to 1978. John began working for the San Francisco 49ers in 1980. While serving as the team's vice president and director of operations, he contributed to five Super Bowl wins.

John McVay believes that his grandson has benefited from his experience. It is difficult to believe that Sean's time with his grandfather did not have some influence now that he is a coach.
