The Los Angeles Rams have promoted pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase to offensive coordinator, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
In addition to the promotion of Scheelhaase, the Rams have named quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone as the team's new co-offensive coordinator. Ragone will also continue to serve in his capacity as the quarterbacks coach for the franchise. The moves represent a significant internal reorganization of head coach Sean McVay’s offensive staff as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Nate Scheelhaase originally joined the Rams' coaching staff in early 2024 after a successful stint at Iowa State, where he served as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. His quick rise to the coordinator role in Los Angeles underscores the high regard the organization has for his play-design capabilities. Dave Ragone joined the Rams earlier this offseason after spending three seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. He also brings previous experience as a quarterbacks coach for the Chicago Bears.
The Rams' offensive staff has seen several changes recently, and these promotions aim to provide stability and fresh leadership within the unit. The team has not yet released an official statement regarding the specific play-calling duties for the upcoming year.
