Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay possesses one of the most successful coaching trees in the league. Good news arrived for the Seattle Seahawks earlier this week when another McVay assistant chose to depart for a promotion elsewhere. Tight end coach and passing game coordinator Nick Caley has been hired as the Houston Texans’ new offensive coordinator.

Caley joined the Rams in 2023 as tight ends coach and was promoted to double duty as passing game coordinator in 2024. Prior to coaching alongside McVay, he spent eight years as an assistant with the New England Patriots. Caley also coached under Bill Belichick, adding further intrigue to his coaching roots.
Caley isn’t the first Rams assistant to depart this offseason. Game management coordinator John Streicher joined Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots as vice president of football operations and strategy, leaving McVay to reunite with Vrabel after spending time together with the Tennessee Titans.
The Rams captured the NFC West division title in 2024 and upset the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. The Seahawks split the season series and tied the Rams on regular-season wins with 10, but lost the tiebreaker. Any offseason coaching changes that weaken McVay’s organization represents good news for the Seahawks.
