When you’re on live TV, there’s no way to hide a reaction.

On draft night a video of Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay went viral, he was spotted laughing at the Patriots for using a first-round pick on offensive lineman Cole Strange. Rams head coach and his general manager Les Snead were under fire for their live reaction.

Watch his reaction below:

Apparently McVay made sure to reach out to the Pats as to not ruffle any feathers.

Via PFT:

“Because of how that video went viral in fun, that was the chemistry between us and us going through this process trying to evaluate,” Snead said Friday night, “but I know Sean talked to Cole this morning, did talk to Coach Belichick this morning just to say, ‘Hey, we — there was nothing — we really like that player.’ Sean was just jest at myself for, ‘Hey, why did we waste our time on him again?’ And I can say this . . . a long time ago, I forget when it was, but the New England Patriots drafted a guy named Logan Mankins from right up the road in Fresno. He was a left tackle, they moved him inside. About 10 years later, he had a lot of Pro Bowls and Super Bowl.”

Sean McVay is a Super Bowl winning coach who respects his elders, especially legends like Bill Belichick. The NFL could use  a lot more Sean McVay’s. Not only is he a boy genius, he honors the history of the NFL.

What a coach.
