re: Sport Analytics Department

I think analytics are strictly an off the field process that uses numbers to back up what should already be common sense.



shite may be you are on to something. Do you think Mullen would have rethought all those QB dives if he had known that they had such pitiful success rate? The answer is, of course he knew, of course he did it anyways because there was some rhyme and reason to it at the time.

I dunno, maybe he doesn't have an analytical brain, I know I sure do because I was shitting bricks the entire time. May be we do need that department, but there is no way that any fancy analytics can override the thoughts of a coach on the field or up in the booth.
