NFL head coaches are getting bullied by 25 year old nerds. Has science gone too far?
Is there a formula for that??!?!?!?
Here is Mike Florio describing all the things in my fourth down model, lol
Inject all of this into my veins
Why is it that so many of our discussions about "analytics" are from the people who are least qualified to have said discussion?
Ah! Nevertheless, https://twitter.com/TDacken/status/1318720832357715968
If you don't even know what goes into a fourth down model, you are not qualified to criticize said model https://twitter.com/NFL_Journal/status/1318826109320925185
To be clear, I don't think any model is above criticism and especially not a 4th down / 2pt one BUT if you do so, please at least have some idea of what you are talking about.
The ridicule isn't because models are infallible, but because they don't really have any idea

Football is different because 11 players makes things hard to measure. Please ignore the most popular sport in the world, soccer, heavily incorporating numbers successfully, nothing to see here https://twitter.com/MichaelLoCocoWI/status/1318913782861778944
