Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan let something slip recently that seemed to go viral.
During a routine press conference, Callahan noted the team doesn’t have an analytics department. Given the growing importance of analytics around the league, that registered as a red flag.
Callahan merely made the comment in passing during the conference, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. But it took off, as things have a way of doing on social media — and as things have way of perhaps understand doing for a team that is strugglingly this badly right now.
One good example was here:
Finlay did follow up:
We’ve seen examples of other teams having guys on the field with analytical backgrounds to feed information to head coaches in real-time.
Washington, it seems, is behind in this area and an interim coach is the one up there letting the world know.
