Superbowl-bound Rams' coach Sean McVay...and his wrangler.
ShoeShineAndy
This role is often given to a strength and conditioning coach. It’s considered a slap in the face to the field as a whole.
Iwasoutedbyatroll
This is weird, but he did save him from a couple of hits.
dubya8098
If only the was some kind of visual marker indicating where not to go.....
Lynkfox
Osu coach urban Myers had one too, after a few penalties for the coach being on the field. Just one guy whose job was to grab his belt.
DontAskMeImJustVisiting
This is the most stupid thing ever. American Football. Keeerist..
Castorriver
When HR gets involved.
JAPONfan
let me guess - no homo
superduperyooperthatspissedoff
Well he’s the strength and conditioning coach so doesn’t have game day responsibilities
pajasa
Isn’t he being told to “Coach back up please”. Why does he have to stand right on the side line?
FreshlyPeeledSheep
I wouldn't mind being in between that coach sammich haha
meemolade
Is this actually a thing?
middlehead
Sort of. His normal job isn't needed on game day so he helps here. Every team has a guy to police the sideline, most just aren't this active
theoldsazzledazzle
"just use your brain to not get mown down!" "My brain is being used for tactics, I can't think of self-preservation at the same time!"

Is this for real??

Jackpot123
Commented on this before, the coach has to be literally in the game to advise his men, and the refs are doing the same, back up coach is 1/?
Jackpot123
There for coordination so that both the ref and main coach can do their job properly. To those who say just watch the field, it’s hard
Jackpot123
Because he needs to focus on properly making the right calls and getting well timed time-outs. 3/3
islippedonmyslipper
the coach is too busy watching the game, he can easily get run over by people he's not watching. I mean, coaching during a game is intense
yesdearmetoo
It's more about the 15 yard penalty for being on the field during a play. He actually steps onto the field in one of those shots.
thisspecieshasamuzeditselftodeath
This is fuckin stoopid. He have a dedicated ball scratcher too?
TheRicM
All ball scratching requires dedication
Alfa799
They should sew a suitcase handle on his back for quick grabs.
WGG25
maybe they just like touching eachother and disguise it as a "job"
Radandie94
If the ref bumps into coach mcvay even once they get a 15 yd penalty and that wrangler will get fired
AmityvilleHodor
I once got paid just to sell people gas and put stuff on shelves. Crazy world out there
Obsole
To be fair, you probably didn't get paid minimum ~$30-40K/yr to do it. Some big time strength/conditioning coaches can make 6 figures.
MisterPrimeMinister
I like your username.

BitchButcher
You're joking, right?
icantsleepsoiImgur
wow, it's like a thing then?

NoOneKnowsImLying
I'm glad that you're here to explain this to everyone.
middlehead
It's nice to be appreciated.
RandyJenkins
I want a wrangler. Where can I get one ?
Opportunist
Visit your local Jeep dealership. Recommend the Rubicon package. Design and order custom online. White or Black arrives soonest. (I like the
Opportunist
white for safety, easily seen at night or in fog.)
RandyJenkins
Except they made Forbes top 10 list of worst riding vehicles
Opportunist
I mean, it's not riding on a cloud. But a few years back when we were waiting for the (then) new Pentastar engine to become available for it
Opportunist
before we bought one, we had a snowstorm here and just before I dashed out to drive to work, I notice how quiet it was. Peeked outside. Our+
usersubisastrangeplace
how bout stay off the field ffs
SomeDetroitGuy
He's allowed on the white strip, which is out of bounds, as long as he doesn't interfere with the play or refs.
jrntn
It can't both be allowed and out of bounds
MantisTobagganMD
Out of the field of play. However, coaches officially aren't allowed in the white strip, but it's seldom enforced.
middlehead
He isn't, actually. Refs just don't usually push the rule as long as coaches stay out of their way.
TheRicM
I know nothing about this and have nothing to contribute to this conversation
zzzb
Well I'm going to go ahead and value your contribution anyway
TheRicM
morethanamouthfull
Now, THAT is fucking stupid.
WhatRaySay
Nah that's actually precisely what's called for given the rules of the sport and the particular circumstances of the Rams personnel choices.
rayriceselfdefenseclass
Not with how much he is getting paid
NevaMO
Not stupid at all, a bit odd but better than getting interference penalties and potentially losing games over it
2fligh2high
MasticatingMastodon
Not his only job as well.
fullmetalstark
Common in both college and pro levels since the head coach is too busy tracking his 11 guys on the field. Usually it's the strength coaches.
FlyingDorito
This is a common practice? wow....
Iamtoofuckinghighforthisshit
It’s also a 15 yard penalty even if the coach inadvertently gets in the way. Which he would have.
thisnameistaken
So why doesn't he just stay off the white line like it's not small
Iamtoofuckinghighforthisshit
Too into the game. Watch that dudes face/eyes. Too focused. Watching every snap and alignment. Subs. He’s trying to take it all in.
SerDire
McVay has zero field awareness. Sideline interference is a penalty. Either get a flag each time or have someone babysit your head coach
aCartographer
Maybe he likes getting grabbed by a man from behind, we don't judge here
MrSaturday
Or cultivate some field awareness.
Thekindofkindlyman
Zero field awareness made it to the Super Bowl. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Fushelama
Also that STUPID FUCKING CALL
Fushelama
Sorry inner saints fan rage, still hope yall fuck up the patriots
FourtytwosQuestion
This makes me question the intelligence of a football coach. He only needs not to go onto the field.
imnotakittycat
How many people have you seem so immersed in something that they run into a wall, or trip over something, or walk into a pole...Not uncommon
takethatyourogue
He is so focused on the game, there’s no room in his mind for little things
builditguy
He also has to stay out of the refs way. When they run down the sideline.
barrocoyote
Sean McVay is pretty fuckin' intelligent, dude.
IGDetail
It actually probably pays off that the coach keep his eyes on the game as much as possible.
GravityHertz
He probably knows this too
plustootwostoopid
Makes it so he can focus 100% on the game and not worrying about bumping into the ref.
icantbelieveurnotbutter
Does the extra 3 feet make any difference? Just stay the fuck back
ImgurAddict1
Yes, to stay in front of the sideline crowd so his view isn't obstructed.
OtterlyMagnificent
That's actually smart. Have the coach focus on the game, have the coach-wrangler keep him alive.
LosPer
Passion does that to people...
IAmASentientWaffle
LMFAO I hope that was a joke
Cizox
Play a sport and you’ll see what he means
IAmASentientWaffle
Yeah no, I get being passionate but it's not mutually exclusive with stupidity. Using passion as an excuse for needing *this* is just sad.
Aurourus
Okay get invested in a sport then you worthless slob.
Cizox
Like I said, play a sport and you’ll understand the feeling where everything around you disappears when youve got your eye on the prize
ManOfIce
People like you are literally the worst at parties. You’re cynical about everything.
trashthecan
He is watching his players, not the sideline officials. So he has a guy watch the officials and assists him to move when necessary.
ItIsNotWhatItIs
Gay
fishballshoe
Agreed
WrongUn
Don't most other field sports manage this incredibly complicated task without any issues?
shmekie
10x as many bodies on a football sideline tho. Players, coaches for every position, refs, waterboys, ballgirls, etc
OurLordLucifer
Doesn’t make it any less weird
LosPer
I know. Just looks silly out of context.
littledabldooya
Does he not have any peripheral vision? Why don’t they have one of these guys on the field to help out the quarterback, lol.
AcademyStarbuck
The NFL really needs to build a wall.
NeilTysonsAstrophysics
That’s it the NFL is Shutdown till then. No super Bowl. Bad.
Tinger1990
And have the NHL pay for it

Kinda, or benches like in hockey, and a barrier they have to hop over
ACESandEIGHTZ
Could you imagine a 300+lbs linemen jumping over the boards!
OrbitalSloth
It’d be a hop up and spin. Have to be some strong ass boards tho lol
Conflict
Easy. Some of those dudes are ridiculously athletic. There are some defensive lineman that can outrun running backs.
nuushba
I'd watch NFL just to see if they go through some of the boards
Beardedagentman
We'd probably be surprised. Those guys are way more nimble than most think.
deletedeleteieatmeat
Yes they are quicker and more agile than most think but it is still a whole lot of mass jumping over a wall
ChetTheRocketStedman
He’s the strength and conditioning coach. His job isn’t needed on game day. This is his other role. Sorry to be that guy.
Camarrata
Its still a fucking ridiculous role!!
chiefrunswithscissors
Or is he a professional coach wrangler that also does strength and conditioning top make ends meet?
imawreck
Yep, his job is stupid until the coach accidentally crosses onto the field and costs a game.
JackHarknessNerdySidekick
At the same time why does an adult need another adult to keep him from crossing a line
RussellCroweFightinRoundTheWorld
We need more that guys
mialynneb
He makes bank - it's pretty amazing.

No, don't be sorry, we need "that guy".

Thank you for being that guy.

It’s still retarded as hell.
SaltCollector
It's odd. I've never seen this behaviour or role in any other sport yet people are acting like you're ignorant for calling it weird.
TheFashion
Because American football fans are retarded.

User name checks out.

Seconded
cropduster5000
If it’s his job then he HAS to be that guy so wouldn’t the username not check out?
LosPer
He does have a second job tho...lol. And that one is dumb.
Bahbawhitesheep
Say what you want but that’s the new style of coaches, and they’re working out quite well.
ChetTheRocketStedman
McVay has a total boner for football plays. Dudes a machine of a coach. Not surprising he’s too zoned in to know where he is
PangolinBan
McVay is having an absolutely stellar coaching career. If this helps, it's not dumb.
MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame
He’s done A LOT in two years. But... he’s been a HC for two years. Little early to comment on his “career” being stellar.
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
Letting the coach stay fully immersed with what's going on during the play and also avoiding a penalty sounds pretty smart to me
TheFashion
Why is he so special. Nobody else needs a coach wrangler.
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
It's super common in college ball. Not as common in the NFL but this isn't a first. Definitely most consistent tho
teakasaurus
...they’re talking about the ‘coach wrangler’ he’s a coach with nothing to do on game day, so he gave himself that job to help coach1 focus
boethius
Don't be sorry. This is not his dedicated role really like at all. And I'm sure he CAN get out of the way on his own.
ShadyEsperanto
The point of this video was to show McVay gets so focused he doesn't notice the refs. Dude's 33 and heading to the super bowl. Do your thing
DubhIainn
This.
ChaSiuBao
It must be so fucking handy though. Coach can focus on the play, and the refs can run the sidelines without crashing into coach. Win-win
weirdassgifinthecomments
Especially because bumping into the reff as a coach is a penalty I believe. Saves the team yards possibly
ChaSiuBao
It's a penalty for sure. Not sure on the yardage, though.
