INDIANAPOLIS – Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay raved about new Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur in an interview with Titans Online during Super Bowl weekend.

Here at the NFL Combine on Wednesday, McVay shed even more light on what the Titans got in LaFleur.

"There's really not any advice Matt needs," McVay told reporters. "Matt's been doing this for a long time, and I think you just want to continue being a supportive friend. We always just enjoy talking ball. He's ready for this opportunity. He'll do a great job leading. I think it's great he's able to get his coaching staff finalized to where you're able to coach your coaches, working under a great coach like Mike Vrabel will be a unique opportunity, and calling some plays.

"Now I'll be able to call him and bust his chops like he did for me after some of those bad play calls I made."

LaFleur served as offensive coordinator with the Rams last season. He was named new offensive coordinator of the Titans last month. He'd previously interviewed for the head-coaching position with the Titans before the team hired Vrabel.

With the Titans, LaFleur will call plays while working with quarterback Marcus Mariota.

"Matt did a great job of being able to communicate with our quarterbacks, being able to organize some of the game plans," McVay said. "He was a great sounding board for me to bounce things off of. He had a huge influence and was instrumental in the success we had offensively."

The Rams led the NFL in scoring in 2017, averaging 29.9 points per game. In his first season with the Rams, LaFleur was instrumental in quarterback Jared Goff's development. Goff threw for 3,804 yards with 28 touchdowns and only seven interceptions in 2017 en route to reaching the Pro Bowl. Running back Todd Gurley led the NFL in scrimmage yards (2,093) in 2017, was second in rushing yards (1,305).

Prior to joining the Rams, LaFleur served as quarterback Matt Ryan's QBs coach for two seasons with the Falcons. Ryan was named NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year after throwing for 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns for a 117.1 quarterback rating in 2016.

LaFleur coached quarterbacks for the Redskins from 2010-2013, and he worked in Washington with QB Robert Griffin III, who became the first Redskins rookie quarterback selected to the Pro Bowl and led the team to its first NFC East title in 13 years. Under LaFleur, Griffin established Redskins rookie records in pass completions (258), passing yards (3,200), passing touchdowns (20) and rushing yards by a quarterback (815).

McVay said it was difficult to let LaFleur go.

"But I think when you really look at it there were some specific aspects of it that make you feel a little more comfortable," McVay said. "One he's a great person, I wouldn't be fortunate enough to be in the role that I'm in if I didn't have people that were willing to invest and allow you to take steps in your career, and play calling is one of those steps, if you continue to want to achieve being a head coach at some point. I think for Matt being a team that we just played their division, being in another conference, you felt good about that.

"I think it was an opportunity he's ready for and then I think what you also felt good about were the people in the building that you're going to move up to be able to take some of the roles."
