One of the hardest and most important decisions any athletic director makes in their career is who is going to be their next head football coach. This single decision can have a lasting impact in a positive or negative fashion on a program and very often has multi-million dollar ramifications. Our goal at SportSource Analytics is to make sure that you can make this decision with the most accurate, up-to-date, and customizable data possible. The only way we know to become experts in a field is to spend an inordinate amount of time studying your craft. Our craft is college football coaches and teams.
Over the last fifteen years, our intensive study of college football coaches and teams has led us to being the official analytic consultant for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, the official data platform for the Doak Walker Award, the trusted data source for such sports agencies as Balch Sports, CAA, and Harlan Sports, and the analytic consultant and data provider to 80+ FBS coaches and teams around the country.
In the last tens years alone, over 60 FBS schools used our Coaches By The Numbers platform to deeply study head coaches and coordinators around the country to find the best fit for their programs. How do we do it? We have a unique and proprietary Coach Hiring Analytics Tools that allows end users to study the last 15+ years of FBS coaching hires and answer such questions as: 'Do offensive coordinator hires have more success than defensive coordinators?' and 'Do ties to the school really matter?' As Mack Rhoades noted, when it comes to making one of the most important decisions you will ever make as an athletic director, we do not believe you should do so without all of the available information and expertise available to you. We have the information and can provide the expertise as well.
Below is a set of the detailed packages that we offer.
Package 1: Platform Access
Access to SportSource's Coaches By The Numbers Platform throughout the coach search process. This would give you access to detailed coach profiles, coach dossiers, coach rankings, coach comparison tools, and our proprietary Coach Hiring Analytics Tool.
