I’m old enough to be the grand dad of a bunch of you. When I was coming off age, a football team had a head coach and some assistants. Bigger programs, like college and NFL teams, had coordinators and position coaches. The first time I remember hearing of an “analyst” was when Saban hired Sark as an offensive analyst. Help an old codger out. What exactly is an offensive analyst? Is he essentially responsible for video study and breakdown for the purpose of providing data to the appropriate coordinator or is the job something else entirely? I ask this because the guy being reported to be our next OC is a senior analyst for the Packers and I’m curious what that entails.

I can relate! Heck, it seems we hired like 10 more coaches than our last coach had total!

I watched an interview with him explaining what he does for the Packers. He works to break down the opposing teams offense explains what they do to the defensive staff and then helps replicate that offense in their practices so the defense sees it live.

Thanks I did find his description interesting of the job and how he feels it has helped him with understanding how the defensive staff would approach a given situation with various scheme adjustments and how that has made him a better offensive coach.

So what you are saying is...he did a masterful job against the Cowboys. I think we are going to see a real 1st-class organization out of this group. Too many P5/NFL guys NOT to be prepared every week. The key though, is recruiting. Will that translate to getting good players?

The guys in green and gold did a masterful job of derailing the Dak to Cee Dee train. If our new OC was responsible for that, even if he only made a substantial contribution to that, I can't wait to see what we can do.

I think it is a role helping the coordinators be able to adjust to changes that an offense may do. Another set of eyes not a particular segment of team but the overall view. Obviously, our previous staff were good at adjusting and our former staff before that were no better at adjusting than a statue. The intricate ways the NFL and P5 with all their eyes and staff works is just like any operation where (in general except for the Federal government) the more expertise on a subject the more it can be understood. Again, except the feds who 1) do not have true experts calling the overall shots and 2) Have to spend their budgets which makes pretend they need more.
