Why would you want them behind you?
In an aggressive dog you want them where you can see them and you are watching them and they can make eye contact to ask for help and support.
Behind has them out of sight and also you are out of their thoughts and they are looking where ever hunting the next victim.
That is a no no.
Only time I want to be in front is if I am blocking my dogs view to an on coming issuse. That I need to step between her and it. So a reacation does not start. Then I have failed to get her out of harms way and provent a reaction which is miss management on my part.
The only other reason is to get my leg in there to take a bite from another aggressive dog going after her or her going after another dog and that is miss managment too.
