The job of an NFL head coach has increasingly become a career for young men, and you can consider the beginning of the 2017 NFL offseason as the beginning of this trend.

At this point, the Los Angeles Rams hired Sean McVay as the team's new head coach. McVay wasn't yet 31 when the Rams handed the reins to Washington's offensive coordinator, and the results were fruitful.

McVay helped turn Jared Goff into a solid quarterback and the Rams into a Super Bowl contender. He finally won a Super Bowl after the team traded for Matthew Stafford, and that allowed McVay to etch his name into the annals of NFL history.

This success has led to NFL teams copying McVay's success. NFL owners are increasingly leaning toward younger, offensive-minded coaches to lead their teams. The results were mixed, but the youth movement continued nonetheless.

Here's what to know about the NFL's youngest coaches for 2024.
