McVay’s age

McVay was born on Jan. 24, 1986, in Dayton, Ohio, to parents Tim and Cindy McVay.

McVay was 30, a month shy of his 31st birthday when he got the Rams heading coaching job. The second-youngest NFL head coach ever hired was Lane Kiffin, who took a job with the Raiders when he was 31. McVay then went on to win Super Bowl LVI when he was 36 and 20 days old. Tomlin was six weeks shy of his 37th birthday when Pittsburgh defeated Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII.

After McVay won the big game, Khomyn took to Instagram writing: “I’ve watched this guy grind nonstop. Day in and day out. No breaks. He always puts everyone else first, and winning this Lombardi trophy for his team, his family, his friends… is a dream come true!!! I love you babe, you deserve this times a million. Victory tastes pretty damn good!”

McVay is older than his wife. But how much older?
