Was listening to former BYU/UVa head coach Bronco Mendenhall's new podcast (which is well worth your time if you've ever wanted to go deep on how head coaches set up programs - as a side note, Bronco would be the kind of guy I'd hope Stanford would hire should Shaw ever part), and he talks in the most recent episode about tapping into data science students at UVa to help coaches identify tendencies and probabilities in opponent teams. Anyone know if Shaw and his staff are doing something similar? Would seem like a no-brainer given the quality of talent they could pull from on campus. Then again, I've never once heard or seen Shaw talk about analytics or data science informing anything with the program.
