Didn't realize that the Brad Holmes was into analytics. Very cool seeing a black man get hired to be GM at least partially because of "forward-thinking analytics."
:blessed:

Holmes’ vision was, Hamp said, “everything we were looking for.” They liked how he communicated and his approach to building a team. They appreciated his approach to forward-thinking analytics and scouting.

That’s what they are expecting him to be able to do early to help reconfigure a Lions roster that finished in last place the last three seasons.

“The one thing that Brad brought from what the Rams do is the use of analytics to really hone in on the players that you can predict will fit your roster,” Wood said. “And make an impact on your team. Obviously there’s the scouting of the players, watching them in person and then watching them on tape.

“And then taking all this data that is out there and figuring out if somebody runs a 40 at X speed and has arm length of this and a 3-cone of that, they are likely to be a good player or they are likely not to be a good player and they’ve taken it to a whole new level.”

Wood said it was something the Lions had not heard before -- “cutting-edge,” -- and Hamp said “it is definitely different, pretty much, from what we’ve been doing here.”

He said a while back he would come outta retirement for the right situation and this was rumored when AS got the ATL job :manny:.


There was a very, very feint smell of smoke way back when that him and Vrabel had philosophical differences which was the true reason he retired but it was never confirmed. Think Vrabel like having too much of his thumb on the defense which we seen how that turned out this year :unimpressed:
