Hello One Foot Down! Football Analytics Writers Introduction
Hello OFD Readers! Our names are Cooper Klaus and Jack Concannon and we are excited to be joining One Foot Down as contributors! We will be producing analytics-driven content focusing on the Notre Dame Football Team.
I (Cooper) am a ‘19 Notre Dame grad currently working in Chicago as a Financial Analyst. During my Junior and Senior years (2017-19) I worked with the Irish Hockey Team and was responsible for all of their analytics. Working closely with the coaching staff, my team and I primarily assisted with lineup decisions and helped identify optimal Forward Lines, Defensive Pairings, and Special Teams Units. I also worked part-time for Pro Football Focus during the 2018 season.
