Hi Goldenbears. I always respect for your posts and opinions. I really don't think or expect Frost to be an expert on all things football. But I would be disappointed to find out that a person in his position, and with his compensation, is not smart enough to surround himself with people that will make decisions that he feels can better be made by others (and in particular, those who are looking at analytics). But, we see it everywhere, and especially in politics, this is not happening.
I like watching football but my knowledge of optimum plays like going for 2 or what to do when up by X with y minutes left in game... well that is limited.
In baseball I could have a reasonable debate on lineup construction, bunting, base-stealing, and useful and useless metrics. In football I cant..
Cliffs. If the analytics say go for it on that Nebraska play, then I would defer to that over Frost's (or anyone's) gut instincts.
