Analysts analyze data for trends, forecasts, etc. Data scientists collect data. Data Engineers can interpret the data.
They are merely called "analysts" to get around classifying them as coaches or GAs in violation of NCAA rules.
And true "data scientists" do all of those things you mentioned, from collecting to cleaning to analyzing to interpreting to visualizing to reporting data.

Do I need to propose a meeting with the coaching staff to whiteboard this?

Yeah.. I think you’re taking the whole football “analyst” title a little too seriously. They do a lot of stuff from charting plays to scouting personnel to game planning depending on their experience.. but the term analyst is not necessarily used in the same way that it would be used in tech/finance. An “analyst” in CFB is basically an “assistant” in the NFL.

You gonna stop with this coaching staff or hit all of college football?

It’s insanity that we have coaches that spend hours on film study not know these things but our old trainer pops it out right away? What a waste of money this offensive staff is.

Right.. because there’s no context. Which was kind of my point.

That's all it mentioned. I can't link it anyway, paywall.

It's using data to determine what the optimal decision is. It may not be fancy regression models that MLB teams use, but it's the veey definition of prescriptive analytics.
Traditional scouting and analytics are not the same thing

Well damn wish we would have done it or listened to stats and analytics sooner

Ridiculous it took him to put people in the correct place. What the hell are the OC and OL coaches doing?

quote:Umm. Not in college football.
Umm. Data collectors collect data. Analysts analyze.
But even in other industries, "analysts" do often write the programs that collect data, which is mostly automated. Those tasks are not so neatly compartmentalized unless you have a massive data science team.
In other cases, "analyst" is simply a general term for entry-level employees who deal with any kind of numerical systems and reporting.

That’s not weird. That’s literally his job.

3rd party football people can give good input to a gameplan. It's easy to not see the the forest for the trees as a HC sometimes.

His job is to design blocking schemes? I keep asking this and I keep getting the same answer...nothing.
Posted on 10/16/21 at 9:20 pm to DiamondDog
So identifying which schemes worked best for specific players on certain plays isn’t analytics?

This just proves how poorly coached this team is.
Kind of ironic how running the ball so successfully this game, after failing all year, proves our coaching is garbage.
