[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131753077, member: 1476288"] The only additional position I think Brown should hire is to hire an actual data scientist. All professional sports teams now have at least 1 on staff now. While hiring ex-coaches as "analyst" IM sure is a good thing and helps in many ways, to gain a more diverse perspective of your opponents, however they are only extracting 10-20% of Alpha/Value from actual opponent data & analytics. An experienced data scientist will be able to fully extract all Alpha & Predictive value, and develop analytics for scheme development, internal analysis, pre-game opponent analysis, & real-time + in-game "Next play call" prediction mapping. While coaches still need the feel of a game, and decisions should not be solely based on predictive analytics, they are just an additional tool to ensure a coaches decision is based on justification.
