Giants' Joe Judge Rips Analytics: If Excel Won Games, Bill Gates Would Be Killing It
Don't talk to New York Giants head coach Joe Judge about how analytics play into his in-game decisions.
Asked by reporters on Wednesday about how analytics inform his decision of whether to go for it on 4th down, Judge responded by bringing up Microsoft Excel and Bill Gates.
"Analytics is just a tool," Judge said. "You can look at a stat sheet all ya want. I promise ya if Excel was gonna win football games, Bill Gates would be killing it right now. But you've got to take those numbers."
It's worth nothing that Forbes estimates Gates' net worth at $129.6 billion. He's not an NFL head coach, but he seems to be doing OK for himself from a financial standpoint.
