Sean McVay will need to find someone else to keep him out of harm’s way on the sideline next season. The Philadelphia Eagles announced changes to their football operations department Friday and Ted Rath has taken a job as the team’s director of sports performance.
Rath previously worked as the Rams’ director of strength training and performance, but he was most famous for a viral clip that showed him constantly pulling McVay away from the sideline during games – earning the nickname of being his “get-back coach.”
Rath spent three years with the Rams and has worked in the NFL for 11 seasons now. In his first year with the Rams, he was named Strength Coach of the Year, which is an award voted on by strength and conditioning coaches across the league.
Rath did find himself in some hot water last year when he was charged with three counts of misdemeanor sexual battery, leading to a leave of absence from the Rams during their playoff run. He was found not guilty on all three counts and was acquitted of the charges.
