On his 1280 interview yesterday, Lindsdey seemed to suggest that the Jazz have/are continuing to contract out some analytics jobs to universities and such. It seems like Snarr's job is to build/manage/expand the database(s) containing all the analytics info they have, not necessarily to run all the analytics jobs (though he might do some of this). What little I can tell about his background from his BYUH student projects and the Dept. of Corrections seems to suggest that he's qualified to do this job.

Yeah, I've looked at his linkedin profile as well. If he's just doing database management and communication, he's probably fine. If he's tasked with modeling and causal inference, I'd be a bit worried. FWIW, Bill James was working security when he did a lot of his work in baseball (and didn't have any graduate degrees or formal experience in statistics).

Also, Stoked…you have heard of this guy before considering you posted in that thread.
You are right. I simply did not remember the name at the time.

Anybody with the name of Skeeter is definitely a steal hire for this team!
