The Seattle Seahawks are probably just as surprised as everyone else that one of their division foes, the Los Angeles Rams, hired Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay, who is just 30 years old, to be their new head coach.

The hiring shocked the football word, and while Twitter had fun making jokes at McVay’s expense, the fact remains that the young head coach will now be tasked with rebuilding a Rams team that happens to play in the league’s second-biggest market. Easy, right?

There’s also this interesting nugget of information.

Sean McVay was born in 1986, the same year that Jeff Fisher started his coaching career as a DBs coach in Philadelphia. — Chris Burke (@ChrisBurke_SI) January 12, 2017

To put into perspective even more just how young McVay is, let’s take a look back at what was going on in the world back in 1986, the year McVay was born, (information courtesy of On This Day).
