Rams retaining pass game specialist Nate Scheelhaase despite drawing interest from 2 teams

The Rams are keeping 34-year-old assistant Nate Scheelhaase despite drawing offensive coordinator interest from multiple teams

The Los Angeles Rams have already lost multiple assistant coaches this offseason but Nate Scheelhaase isn’t going anywhere. The key 34-year-old offensive assistant is returning to the Rams despite drawing interest from the Jaguars and Buccaneers in their search for an offensive coordinator.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the news of Scheelhaase’s return to the Rams.

Scheelhaase just finished his first season with the Rams, which was also his first season in the NFL. He held the title of offensive assistant and pass game specialist for the Rams, working closely with Sean McVay and the other offensive coaches on the staff.

It’s unclear if the Rams gave Scheelhaase a promotion or a raise to keep him in Los Angeles, but he’ll be returning to McVay’s staff nonetheless. He’s a rising coach to watch next offseason for teams looking to hire an offensive coordinator.

While both teams are looking at Scheelhaase, only one is offering playcalling duties. What could make a difference is Coen has confirmed he will be the one calling plays in Jacksonville, whereas Todd Bowles would add him to the staff to take on that responsibility.

Going to be interesting to see if Scheelhaase ends up with one of these teams or if he remains in Los Angeles.

34-year-old offensive assistant Nate Scheelhaase is drawing interest from multiple teams this offseason

Sean McVay is certainly proud to see Liam Coen get his first head coaching opportunity in the NFL after being hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that could cause him to lose some of his own assistant coaches.

Coen and the Jaguars have already shown interest in Aubrey Pleasant for their defensive coordinator position, and now they’re eyeing Rams assistant Nate Scheelhaase for their offensive coordinator opening.

The Jaguars announced they interviewed Scheelhaase on Tuesday night, making him the latest candidate on Jacksonville’s radar.

Scheelhaase, 34, just finished his first season as an NFL coach, working as an offensive assistant and pass game specialist under McVay. He previously spent time at Illinois and Iowa State.

In addition to the Jaguars, the Buccaneers have also interviewed Scheelhaase for their offensive coordinator position, which Coen held last season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are searching for their next offensive coordinator following the unexpected departure of Liam Coen, and they’re combing through the Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff for candidates.

One name to watch? Nate Scheelhaase, a 34-year-old offensive assistant who just finished his first year with the Rams. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Buccaneers have requested to interview Scheelhaase for their offensive coordinator vacancy. This is the first interview request Scheelhaase has received so far this offseason, but he’s a promising young coach so it’s hardly surprising to see him drawing interest.

In addition to being an offensive assistant, Scheelhaase also holds the title of pass game specialist with the Rams.

Scheelhaase joined Sean McVay’s staff last season after six years at Iowa State, including one season as the team’s offensive coordinator in 2023. Prior to that, he coached both the running backs and wide receivers at Iowa State.

Prior to getting into coaching, Scheelhaase played four seasons as the quarterback at Illinois from 2010-2013, throwing for 8,568 yards and 55 touchdowns. He holds the school record for total yards (10,634).

Scheelaase, 33, started his coaching career in 2015 at Illinois on the football operations side and as the team’s running backs coach. He left to become Iowa State’s running backs coach in 2018 and rose the ranks to offensive coordinator/QBs coach in 2023.

Scheelhaase is a former college quarterback, playing at Illinois from 2010-2013. He threw for 8,568 yards, 55 touchdowns and 37 interceptions, while also rushing for 2,066 yards and 19 touchdowns in four seasons.

He was a four-star recruit out of high school and was recruited by Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas and Kansas but opted to attend Illinois. In high school, he was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2007 in Missouri, leading Rockhurst to a 13-0 record and state championship.

Sirianni has a tight relationship with Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell and told the media during his NFL Combine press conference that he had discussions with Cyclones offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.

Scheelhaase was named to 247Sports ’30Under30′ list as one of the top rising stars in the profession in 2019 and he’s played a huge role in the development of 2022 Biletnikoff Award finalist Xavier Hutchinson, a two-time consensus All-American running back Breece Hall, All-American running back David Montgomery and All-Big 12 wide receiver Deshaunte Jones.

The 2012 Illinois graduate was a four-year starter and two-time team captain for the Illini who finished his career as the program’s all-time leader in total offense (10,634 yards), a figure that ranks seventh in Big Ten history.
