The Philadelphia Eagles have the best record in the NFL at midseason, and the Los Angeles Rams have gone from one of the worst teams in the league in 2016 to a legitimate playoff contender in 2017. So naturally, their respective head coaches are in a tight race for ‘Coach of the Year’ as we head into Week 10.

Obviously the season is far from over, so the question is: if both teams continue at their current pace, which coaching performance would be most impressive? Considering the fact that the Rams haven’t seen a playoff game in 12 years, and it’s been even longer since they’ve posted a winning record, it has to be McVay.

The Eagles have had their struggles throughout the years, there’s no question about that. But McVay is an offensive coach, and the Rams were the worst offense in the NFL less than twelve months ago.

The @RamsNFL are on pace to become the first team in @NFLhistory to go from the worst scoring offense (14.0 PPG in 2016) in one season to the best scoring offense (32.9 PPG in 2017) in the next Their 18.9 PPG improvement over last season is also the largest in NFL history — NFL Research (@NFLResearch) November 8, 2017

That’s an unbelievable leap to make in just one off-season, especially with the youngest quarterback in the league and a third year star running back. And as ESPN pointed out, they have a difficult schedule ahead, which provides a way for him to prove himself even more.

Via ESPN.com:

“They showed Sunday they can be a top-of-the-league-style bully, wading into the swamps of Jersey and hanging 51on a listless Giants team. After Houston next week, the Rams’ schedule looks daunting — at Minnesota, home versus the Saints, at Arizona, home versus the Eagles, at Seattle and at Tennessee before finishing up with the 49ers at home.”

This is a very young offense with the NFL’s youngest coach ever. If they Rams beat Pederson’s Eagles and win the NFC West, there’s no other choice but to give the honors to Sean McVay.
