ESPN’s Peter Schrager reports that Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase has “some legit buzz.”

07 January 2026

Scheelhaase interviewed for the Jaguars and Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator vacancies last offseason before the Rams promoted him from offensive assistant and passing game specialist to passing game coordinator. Schrager did not specify whether Scheelhaase’s buzz is in relation to offensive coordinator vacancies once again, but we believe this is the case. Rams QB Matthew Stafford led the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 passing touchdowns this season. Stafford, of course, deserves a ton of credit, but Scheelhaase’s tactics were undoubtedly valuable.
