Cowboys' Mike McCarthy speaks on 2020 plan for analytics, play-calling and more: 'We're looking
"It's just not something we think is best for our team," he told 105.3FM the Fan. "That's just our approach. Different people have different approaches."
Speaking with 105.3FM the Fan for the first time in his Cowboys tenure, even he trolled himself a bit for his recent stubbornness.
While McCarthy is no longer tugboating that decrepit theme, he also wants to be clear analytics is a tool he'll readily employ with the Cowboys, but it's not the Holy Grail.
Can Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy turn analytics talk into action?

Of the 31 active NFL head coaches, the Cowboys' Mike McCarthy is the only one who has walked through that door, PFF founder Neil Hornsby said. He stayed all day.
On Sept. 17, McCarthy and four members from his team visited the PFF offices. Jim Haslett, former New Orleans Saints coach, was among those colleagues who joined him.

Analytics in 2020: Harnessing the Trends of the Year to Come | Analytics Insight
In the last few years, BI has been making tremendous amounts of progress. This is big data and cloud computing. A study by Gartner had shown that insufficient quality of data had cost organizations an approximate of US$15 million a year, creating momentum to render this suite of technologies more available. As a result, new, better visualization tools have come to replace spreadsheets, making analytics more accessible to the masses.
There are no unanimous leaders in this field. A few notable mentions are Tableau as well as Power BI , but the vast majority of the market is software that was developed internally by the companies for their own specific needs.
