“There is something both artful and brutal about this game so many of us love. “My hope is that people will, over the course of this series, consider the sport and the people within it - coaches, players, analysts - in ways they haven’t before,” said Rodrigue. Listeners will also come away with an understanding of how football evolves and changes, and how ideas - and people - clash to mold the sport. Listeners of this documentary-style series will get an unprecedented look inside the minds of these coaches and hear them speak openly and candidly about all things football … and each other. The series contains hours of exclusive interviews with Shanahan, McVay, LaFleur, McDaniel as well as head coaches, assistant coaches, former players and analysts across the league. This revolutionary offense, believed to raise the floor of quarterbacks and designed with “the illusion of complexity” in mind, has changed everything about the league - from how, and who, teams hire to the way defenses have evolved to counter it. The offense has been on display in four of the last seven Super Bowls, and McVay became the first to win a championship with it in 2021 - and the youngest-ever head coach to win a Super Bowl.

teams run variations of this offense, and that number grows as assistant coaches on McVay, Shanahan and LaFleur’s staffs are poached and promoted each offseason. Over the last seven years, the “Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay” system has taken over the N.F.L. head coaches Shanahan, McVay, Matt LaFleur and Mike McDaniel, and its personal and professional impact on these coaches and many more in their breakneck pursuit of play-calling “perfection.” reporter Jourdan Rodrigue, “ The Playcallers” takes listeners inside the real story of how the N.F.L.’s most popular offensive system evolved through N.F.L. The Athletic today announced a new podcast series that gets inside the dynamics of the N.F.L.’s youngest coaching family: the Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay tree.
