Bless you for saying this.I'm hoping a graduate from the Sports Analytics program in Falk college at SU gets a chance. I do know a couple who are already associated with the athletic department who are interested in applying.
I'm sure Matt Edwards is qualified, but Anae and Beck can show someone new what they want. I'm confident a Sport Analytics graduate from SU can run the same programs and produce the same data. The difference is someone new to Anae and Beck may see something different and bring new information to the table. And all else being equal, why not help one of our graduates?
There are a couple young but highly capable kids (I’m old) who qualify. Three in particular, one of whom was offered a full-time job by the Bills to NOT go back to school his junior year.
That said, UVA imports really invented the position and the school has to post and let people apply. I’d bet the quote is to emphasize the formality as much as anything but who knows?
