So..
Of much of the info coming out about this McCarthy hire..
The fact he added to his base knowledge while off last year with adding analytics to his game planning is interesting and should help us immediately.
You would think most HCs would not have time to incorporate this directly..
leaving it to an assistant to do it.
Which is not the same as the person calling the plays and monitoring game flow.
And let's be clear..you have to be pretty darn smart to understand the numbers and use them well.
So obviously Mc Carthy is no dummy.
I took several statistical college courses and using numeric output to arrive at predicting outcomes is a little bit errie.
I was a psych major training lab rats in behavior modification.
At times stats implicates results you question but as you study it..are correct more often than not.
Recently it was revealed the Cowboys were not using analytics in playcalling.
It was plainly said they did not recognize it, yet teams all over the NFL were moving in that direction.
McCarthy being proficient in it was something Dallas could immediately now use thru McCarthy.
Interesting.
A quick about face if you ask me.
Be very interested in any of you out there who understand this and can add something about its function and use.
McCarthy seems a different breed of cat.
We shall see.
