Nate Scheelhaase didn’t become an NFL head coach this offseason. But he will be an offensive coordinator in the league for the first time in 2026.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday morning the Los Angeles Rams have named Scheelhaase their offensive coordinator. That will be a promotion from the pass game coordinator role he held in 2025.
“Scheelhaase interviewed for five head coaching jobs during this hiring cycle,” wrote Schefter on X.
“But now, the NFL’s final OC opening has been filled in a uniquely LA way.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the five teams that interviewed Scheelhaase. That was a virtual interview before the Steelers were permitted to meet with Scheelhaase in person.
The Steelers hired Mike McCarthy as head coach before the Rams lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC championship game.
Scheelhaase will be entering his third season with the Rams on Sean McVay’s staff. This is the second consecutive offseason he has received a promotion.
