NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Whether it’s Mike Mularkey or an outsider, the Tennessee Titans coach in 2016 and beyond needs to embrace analytics in a way the franchise has failed to so far.
It’s a way to look for every edge possible, and no franchise should be aware of getting more modern. Not every decision needs to be dictated by metrics. But some can, and not accessing the information to guide those isn’t only “old-school,” it’s shortsighted.
ESPN did a large-scale ranking of analytics in pro sports in the spring. With Ken Whisenhunt as the coach, the Titans rated as non-believers.
