Andscape senior NFL writer Jason Reid speaks to coordinators leaguewide about what meaningful advancement looks like for Black coaches at the highest level of football


Big ambitions are built through ordinary days, especially in a league that rarely waits for anyone.

In the latest episode of Coaches Conversations, Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Nathan Scheelhaase joins Andscape senior NFL writer Jason Reid to discuss his promotion, a demanding NFL schedule and the possibility of becoming a head coach. He explains why he refuses to look too far ahead, even after taking part in head coaching interviews.

Scheelhaase also shares what he has learned from Rams head coach Sean McVay about culture, communication and developing assistants. With Super Bowl LXI coming to Los Angeles, the Rams’ goal is enormous — but his focus stays on winning each day first.

Jason Reid is the senior NFL writer at Andscape. He enjoys watching sports, especially any games involving his son and daughter.
