How Far is Scott Frost from Taking Nebraska to the College Football Playoff?

Where was this analysis when Riley was hired?

None would have made any difference. Bad coaches are just, well, bad. No analysis can sugar coat it.

All I see is 10.

Worse than that. After lots of graphs and charts on points scored and points given up where he completely misuses those two statistics and only those two statistics, the answer was "quite a ways".

He even uses a trend line to try and predict how many points Frost's D will allow next year.

I like this quote:

Seen as a scatterplot, there is a clear relationship between scoring offense and defense.

I put this plot together (estimating to nearest whole number), and looked at the regression analysis. It's R-square is 0.20, which basically means that there is no correlation at all. This guy needs a stats for beginner book, STAT.

According to Google .. looks like about a 1647 mile flight to Santa Clara CA. I say year 4.

I'm wonder what the prediction interval is. Likely a massive spread that is worse than a guess.

That makes about as much sense as using calculus to figure out what your girlfriend wants for her birthday.

“that guy” is working on a masters degree in applied statistics.

I said clear relationship, not correlation. That relationship is that if you give up more points, you have to score a lot more.

Uh, no. That’s not what the trendline means. How did I misuse the statistics?

I wish I had known it was you. I would've been nicer. :Redface:

You're basing whether he will make it to the playoffs on one thing. Scoring. And, you're projecting the scoring at UCF onto a completely different set of players against completely different competition.

 

[Queso]

That’s the thing. He got hired based on his work at UCF. It is absolutely appropriate to look at what he has done there because he is expected to do it at NU.

As for only looking at scoring...yep. In football only two metrics really matter. How many point you score and how many you prevent your opponent from scoring. Everything else is just trivia.

I talked about this point at length on the CobCast podcast a few weeks ago.

Methinks some need to gets the grips!

Methinks some need to gets the grips!

agreed. How about we let him play 1 game before making grandiose predictions.

 

[joncarl]

10 years. That's what the 10 represents on the girl's, um, chest.

All I got was 'tackle' me. didn't see the 10, but you might be right. At first I thought it said 'tickle me', so I lost a little focus.
