    I have heard in the past that he is content doing what he does.

    it's a hell of a lot easier and less stressful telling other people what they should do or should have done than having to actually make the calls and stand by them :)

    It may not be a key to winning football, but I believe they have a valid point. A poor PR Dept. keeps the team looking bad and in an amateurish light. They need to step their game up.

    To be fair, ownership does a pretty good job of that all on their own. Not sure if even a good PR department could make this bunch look competent.

    The guy is trying a little too hard. Everyone wants to have the next Captain Andrew Luck.

    I think we'll start seeing improvements in all areas of team operations.

    We've got some pros at the helm...finally.

    Everything I’m reading about Douglas is extremely positive.

    This is eerily unusual.

    I heard of Mel Kiper. He must be qualified.

    The Jets PR dept is about six millionth on the list of things I want to see them improve.

    The compliments for the Jets getting this done have been plenty.

    Couldn't be more elated. Nobody knows what the future holds but Gase/Douglas is a major step up from Toilet/Mac.

    The Jets targeted the NFL's best young exec and they got him. They sealed the deal.

    Same happened w rams and mcveigh

    Anyway this is really best case scenario. I was nervous the Texans would pounce and probably the jets were as well which led them to meet Douglas demands.

    I’m truly hopeful for this guy.

    And word is he wants to hire mcshay.

    The jets took a lot of mockery for firing mac. Those same people are nowhere to be found today.

    My accountant played minor league baseball in the Tigers organization, and he told me that every team is driven by analytics at every level of their organization. He has contacts in plenty of other sports as well, and they tell him that it's the same in every sport. Sorry, folks, but the nerds have already won, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

    Has any NFL team gone deep into analytics and has it been successful if so?

    Here is some information about that. The NFL is definitely behind MLB and the NBA, but teams are now going in more and more. This past season was the first one in which teams got tracking data about opponents' players, not just their own, and you can bet lots of people are spending plenty of time looking at that this summer. Wearable technology has come to the NFL, and is doing the same in the NHL.

    The thing to remember about all sports analytics is that it isn't (only) about getting an advantage over other teams if you do it; it's also about other teams getting an advantage over you if you don't.
