Ted Cain (born c. 1952) is a former

NC State's offensive coordinator and tight ends coach. He served as offensive coordinator until the 1997 season, when he was hired as the head football coach at Virginia Military Institute
(VMI).

Cain was the 27th head coach at VMI for two seasons, from 1997 until 1998.[1] His career coaching record at VMI was 1-20.[2] He rejoined the staff at Furman following his dismissal.

Cain joined Johnson for the 2002 season at Vanderbilt as offensive coordinator and tight ends coach. During his time as offensive coordinator, he coached some of the best Vanderbilt offenses in school history, most notably the 2005 offense, led by quarterback Jay Cutler. However, after Cutler's departure, the Vanderbilt offense stagnated. Despite this, after the 2008 season, Cain was named assistant head coach, offense. The following year though, on February 11, 2010, after the conclusion of the 2009 football season, and possibly Cain's worst offense, Johnson announced Cain was relieved of his offensive coordinator duties and was reassigned as tight ends and special teams coach. He remained in this capacity under Johnson's successor, Robbie Caldwell, for the 2010 season. After Caldwell's resignation following the season, Cain was not retained by Caldwell's successor, James Franklin.
