Sean McVay, the Rams coach, lost his grandfather John McVay, a businessman who was instrumental in starting the San Francisco 49ers dynasty. He was 91.On Tuesday, the 49ers revealed that McVay had passed away. The reason of death was not stated.Beginning in 1979, McVay served the 49ers in a variety of capacities for 22 seasons. He and the team’s coach, Bill Walsh, were instrumental in creating one of the league’s greatest dynasties, which resulted in five Super Bowl victories over the course of 14 seasons.

The squad released a statement saying, “This is a very sad day for our company and the entire football community.” “John McVay played a major role in building the teams that won our five Super Bowl championships. Most significantly, John was a member of the Hall of Fame who developed real connections with players, coaches, and front office personnel. The standard and tradition we try to uphold today were established by John’s dedication to and services to the 49ers. We are praying and thinking of the McVay family.

In 2016, the 49ers renamed their draft room the “John McVay Draft Room” in recognition of McVay, who was elected into the team’s Hall of Fame in 2013.

In 1979, Walsh was serving as the Niners’ director of player personnel when McVay first signed on. He had a variety of positions over the following 17 seasons, including general manager and director of football operations. With stars like Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice, and Steve Young, he contributed to creating the NFL’s ideal organization.Following the team’s fourth Super Bowl victory, McVay was voted The Sporting News NFL Executive of the Year in 1989. He first left the organization in 1995, subsequently returned in 1999 and worked as vice president and director of football operations until the 2003 season.McVay led the Giants for more than two seasons before moving on to the 49ers. His record for New York was 14–23, and his most notable game had Joe Pisarcik’s late fumble, which cost the Giants the chance to run out the clock. The 19-17 victory for Philadelphia on November 19, 1978, is now remembered as the “Miracle in the Meadowlands” thanks to Herm Edwards’ winning TD return.Sean McVay, the head coach of the Niners’ NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams, followed his grandfather into the NFL in 2017. Last season, Sean McVay earned his first championship and the sixth for the family. He has also played in two Super Bowls. John McVay’s funeral arrangements will be revealed by his family.
