I have no doubt Tony has input, the quotes Homebisket and others have posted prove it from Dave's mouth. He is the owner's son of course he will have input if he

is wants, and he does want to be involved. Tom Landry did "analytics" decades ago, but he also tempered those numbers with Football knowledge. I don't know how much football knowledge Tony has,

is he a 10 year fan, a 20 year fan of the NFL? Plus we have zero evidence any trends he finds are worth a damn and have worked before. It's not like his programs

have produced a winning team. So the stuff he presents may be absolute garbage. That is concerning, but what can a fan do, the owner's son is going to do what he wants. I just hope he gets better at dissecting the trends that are relevant and does not interject and override the people who have done the job for decades. Also someone like Coughlin would not put up with it for a day, so it may make the candidate pool of coaches smaller. Nobody wants the owner's son giving them binders of team's tendencies every week. Maybe a small summary notebook. It's all a matter of how much he intrudes. That's the case with a lot of owners.
