The Los Angeles Rams are promoting passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase to offensive coordinator and making quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone their co-offensive coordinator/QB coach, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
Scheelhaase remained with the Rams after interviewing for five head coaching jobs during the offseason.
The Rams had the top offense in the NFL last season and are bringing back quarterback Matthew Stafford, who announced when he accepted the NFL MVP Award that he would return for 2026.
Los Angeles needed a new offensive coordinator after Mike LaFleur was hired by the Arizona Cardinals in early February. The Rams have had four offensive coordinators under coach Sean McVay — Matt LaFleur (2017), Kevin O’Connell (2020-21), Liam Coen (2022) and Mike LaFleur (2023-25) — and all four have become head coaches. They did not have an offensive coordinator for the two seasons between Matt LaFleur and O’Connell.
