the rams interviewed a variety of candidates, but surprised many observers by hiring then 30-year-old sean mcvay as head coach on january 12, 2017. with a work ethic and reservoir of knowledge that belied his age, mcvay refashioned the team in his own image. the youngest head coach in modern league history hired longtime nfl coach wade phillips as defensive coordinator and retained fassel as special teams coordinator. the results were overwhelmingly positive as mcvay's new-look rams went 11-5 in 2017 and clinched their first nfc west title since 2003, and mcvay was named nfl coach of the year. in 2018, the rams improved to 13-3, tying for the second-most regular season wins in team history, and qualified to play in super bowl liii against the new england patriots.

in 1961, sherman was promoted to head coach. he traded for a number of younger players to bolster an aging squad, such as star quarterback y. a. tittle, swift receiver del shofner, and defensive backs erich barnes and allan webb, and then led the giants to the nfl eastern conference championship, which landed them in the nfl championship game. although they lost to the packers on the road, 37–0, sherman was named nfl coach of the year because the giants had improved from a 6–4–2 record in 1960 to 10–3–1 in 1961. the following year, with running back frank gifford returning from injury, sherman led the giants back to the nfl title game after repeating as nfl east champions with a 12–2 record. he was again named nfl coach of the year, the first awarded that in consecutive seasons, although his giants again fell to green bay, this time 16–7 in yankee stadium. in 1963 the giants won their third straight eastern title, but lost in the championship game on the road, 14–10, to the chicago bears, who injured tittle's leg, taking him out of the game. it was the giants' last appearance in an nfl championship game until super bowl xxi in 1986–87.
