ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Some facts: 1. He has a bachelor's degree in molecular engineering from MIT plus an MBA from Univ. of Rochester - - then worked for Xerox for 26 years; 2. The analytics dept. now consists of him and one other guy; 3. He hasn't missed a Bills home game since 1989. http://www.rochester.edu/pr/Review/V77N1/0601_lyons.html Named last November as director of the Bills’ first analytics department, he will collect and use data points from both the business and sporting sides of the franchise to optimize the team’s decisions on everything from draft choices to fans’ experiences to the performances of each player—all with the goal of increasing the team’s tally of wins. So we have an OC with a degree in neuroscience and an analytics department director with a degree in molecular engineering from MIT. So they oughta be bright enough to figure out how to win, right? I wonder if they know that Fitz went to Harvard?

Nanker Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Hackett has a degree in neuroscience? No. The OC has a degree in Hackettscience. Edited October 4, 2014 by Nanker

Greg F Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) According to a few different sources he has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, not molecular engineering. In fact, I couldn't find a degree program for molecular engineering at MIT. A search for molecular engineering on the MIT web site takes you to chemical engineering courses where there are courses on molecular engineering. I hope the "one other guy" actually has a degree in statistics. The statistics requirements for engineers (or scientist for that mater) is not, IMO and from experience, inadequate for the task at hand. Underlined for Correction: I intended to type "inadequate".

What did Lyons do at Xerox? I'm hoping it was a lot of statistical analysis.

Wait, so it IS NOT .... INADEQUATE so it's adequate?! Just messin with you. I know what u mean and As a scientist, I agree with you. Edited October 5, 2014 by BillsBackersChicago
