12 Jan
Summary
- Scheelhaase led the Rams' 2025 passing attack, the league's top scoring offense.
- Under Scheelhaase, Matthew Stafford led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns.
- He's praised as a 'bright mind' from Sean McVay's coaching tree.
The Cleveland Browns are actively seeking a new head coach and Nate Scheelhaase has emerged as a leading candidate. Scheelhaase, currently the pass game coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, is being recognized for his role in developing the NFL's most potent passing offense in 2025. His innovative strategies are credited with transforming the Rams into the league's sole team to average over 30 points per game.
Scheelhaase's impact is evident in the stellar performances of his players. Matthew Stafford achieved league-leading statistics in both passing yards and touchdowns under his guidance. Additionally, wide receiver Puka Nacua flourished, earning First-Team All-Pro honors and leading the NFL in receptions. Scheelhaase's background as a record-setting college quarterback also provides him with unique insight into the demands of modern NFL signal-callers.
Recognized as a "boy genius" within Sean McVay's influential coaching tree, Scheelhaase was personally recruited by McVay in February 2024. Insiders suggest he is being groomed for a head coaching position. While the Browns are also considering more established names, Scheelhaase represents a dynamic, fast-rising talent, with the Las Vegas Raiders also expressing interest in interviewing him.
