Tulsa News Reporting Fuente Made a New Hire
Reports: Bill Blankenship hired as offensive analyst at Memphis. I'm ok with it, he's looking out for his mentor.

Would his job involve sabermetrics? Anyone know, if football has joined baseball and uses advanced analytics? I used to think it was a bunch of bull, but it seems to have worked out for the Cardinals.

Blankenship is a good coach. Nice pickup. Shows loyalty in coaching profession. Also a good signal to future coaches on CFF's staff that he'll take care of his own.

What exactly is the role of an offensive analyst? Is he a film guy or what?

Frankly, I'm a little hurt that Fuente didn't go in-house and hire one of us from MT.org. Who knows more about being offensive than we do?

Frankly I don't care who he hires as long as the results say the same. The man has earned it.

My feeling exactly. There is nothing wrong with loading up with a bunch of knowledge, experience and wisdom. Plus Fuente knows this coach from a personal standpoint so he knows exactly what he is getting. I have had excellent success hiring retired people who worked with me in the past. There is nothing like experienced people that just continue to show you how good they are at their jobs that do not require a bunch of management and training time.

The people on MT.org are only experts on basketball.

The offensive football analyst position will provide administrative football support for the offensive coaching staff. This will include video/computer breakdowns, defensive game plan board, scouting reports, game day support, permissible on campus recruiting activities and general duties as assigned by Head Football Coach and Offensive Coordinator.

Seems like a pretty low risk job offer with the potential for a decent reward. The guy brings a lot of knowledge and experience and should be able to help greatly with the duties listed above. If he does not for some reason, then it is really no big deal, as the job did not exists previously anyways...
