[QUOTE="gville_jacket, post: 925957, member: 4733"] Not necessarily. The concept was more about looking at more in depth analytics to to dictate decisions instead “eye tests” or human evaluations or feelings. Doing this in combination with looking at team output instead of individual output. That’s really moneyball. The Red Sox and Cubs both won a WS using data analytics and massive payroll. The A’s used it to gain an edge where they didn’t have the payroll and had to rely on the data to be competitive. This just doesn’t make sense to “use moneyball on coaches” and even more difficult in football. Football everyone has a very specific role in any play. Baseball, everyone gets an at bat and has to hit, has to play the field, so much easier to mix and match strengths and weaknesses. [/QUOTE]
