## Background

Scheelhaase promoted from pass game coordinator to full offensive coordinator role alongside Dave Ragone (co-OC). Works under HC Sean McVay in an offense that emphasizes WR development. Has previously been a candidate for head coaching positions. Four of Sean McVay's previous offensive coordinators are now NFL head coaches, suggesting Scheelhaase may follow that trajectory.

Works alongside Ragone (QBs coach) and Kingsbury (Air Raid offensive architect) to create a pass-heavy system built for elite QB performance.
