Do coaches use AI nowadays?

I assume they are, just curious if anyone has insight I'd like a journalist to ask the next head coach about it...

Ive thought about this too.

Very curious about if an image processing AI would be able to pick up on tells/tendencies if a play is a run or pass

If they aren't already, they should. As a joke I fed a play calling situation to chatgpt and asked if to give a primary play call and an audible option for the QB and it did surprisingly well. I'd imagine a more powerful model could do crazy stuff with the things you listed.

Jack Marucci is involved so they probably have moved on to quantum computing

This is going to happen in some form/application. Skynet will be able to predict plays within a certain degree of probability in real time. No doubt it will be able to allow teams to prepare for offensive/defensive tendencies better than without it.

I was thinking about this the other day, if the LSU It dept made or outsourced to another university/institution a play calling/game management program similar to how google made the chess AI. You would think you could have the best play caller game manager in the world by just having some nerd feeding a computer the play by play. That would be really outside of the box thinking for a coach though, that are generally not very outside oft he box thinkers.

Someone would have to create their own LLM essentially involving all concepts known. I have my own super alpha stage LLM because I'm a nerd but it's very tedious, at least for me it is.

let's hope we're way beyond this...

everyone should be leveraging ChatGPT Pro to it's fullest ability...

you can train it...

I bet the up and coming coaches are using it daily

I've coached HS football for many years.A few years back services like HUDL allowed you to retrieve a metric report from info you downloaded. Two weeks ago I was talking to an opposing AD after our game who told me he and the head basketball coach were actively having a group of students working on an AI assist for their basketball team. He said if it helps, they'll definitely suggest using AI to the football program. In reality though, the bottom line is that it will always be more about the Jimmy's and Joe's, than the X's and O's.

Rather than using language models like ChatGPT, I wonder if some of the professional teams are using more traditional machine learning, especially with all the data that is collected nowadays. Seems like you could make a model to predict the best play calling decision for every scenario based on the entire history of collected data. Seems like that would be a good tools to help with OC's with play calling.

I'm assuming at least a handful of programs have adopted an SLM to manage queries about upcoming games. It would certainly be a timesaver which is huge given the hours staffs have to put in these days
