STILLWATER — Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy hasn’t fully bought into these newfangled football analytics.
But he’s not the old coach yelling at the stat nerds to get off his 50-yard line, either. He sees it as a generational difference.
When your offensive coordinator is part of the analytics generation, you have to buy into some of it — both literally and figuratively.
In the offseason, Gundy purchased the advanced analytics system that became popular when the Philadelphia Eagles used it to win the Super Bowl two seasons ago.
OSU’s new play-caller, 34-year-old Sean Gleeson, loves a deep dive into the numbers, and the EdjSports analytics system is like a shiny, new toy for him.
