Schmuggs Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 1 hour ago, Mr. WEO said: And again, no QB. The worst NFL analytics guy in the NFL (whatever that means) would have walked into the Browns FO and said "yeah, you need to draft a QB and get a new HC". Drop the mic. Saying that the Browns were a disaster because "they are the Browns" isn't much of an analysis. They had spreadsheets. They had the same info available to all teams. They had the analytics guy. They one a single game in 2 years. "Best draft"? Maybe for a team that drafts badly---but, big deal. What special analysis does that require? Still bad offense, bad defense. They were better off when Mike Pettine was doing the "analytics". Thanks for making my point. The HC made those decisions, not the gut form the spreadsheet department. The info comes form the coaching staff (with an understanding of football) putting in hours of film analysis, instead of having a stranger so it and tell them his findings. This isn't the MLB---good thing too because the MLB is close to death by fan apathy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 4 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: It stemmed from a conversation last week on the role of an analytics person. I argued that it matters zero that they know football. It matters a lot that they know analytics. Analytics should be, and are, used in all aspects of sport. They are a giant piece to the puzzle. They just aren’t the only piece. All of these different pieces of information (scouting reports, numbers, coach feedback, interview, etc...) are compiled and decisions are made. You need to factor in EVERYTHING not some things. That’s what every good team does. The more information that you have the better. I get the sense that the analytics guy won’t have much of a say in football operations. It sounds like he’s the general analytics person for the organization. Notice how his title has nothing to do with football? Also the Application Development part makes me think he’s more on the IT/Business side than he is in McDermott’s headphones like the dude in Philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that ran analytics for the super bowl champion eagles didn't play a single down of football, he was actually an economic major. Educate yourself Kirb. It was sarcasm probably. You got me.

switz1610 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The only thing this thread proves is that people around here have no idea what the difference is between an "Analyst" and "Director of Analytics". My guess is that he's going to be building internal backend database applications and interfaces to manage data on prospects and FAs for the coaching staff and scouts. He will not be analyzing the results, he will be building algorithms to link data points and, possibly, weight them per coaches and staff recommendations but this will most likely be a warehouse for information and providing accessibility.
