An Ohio native who has spent half of his coaching career in the state, he has been effective recruiting its top talent. Dantonio had served as the defensive coordi- nator at Ohio State the previous three seasons, where he helped craft the defense which was the backbone of the Buckeyes success. Ohio State's defense was the nation's second stingiest against the run in 2003, allowing 62.3 yards per game, and was ranked No. 10 in total defense and No. 16 in scoring defense. Those efforts helped the Buckeyes attain the No. 4 ranking in the final polls. Dantonio assembled the defense which led Ohio State to the national title in 2002. The Buck- eyes were second nationally in scoring defense (13.1) and third in rushing defense (77.7) during their perfect season. Six Buckeye defenders were named first team All-Big 10 during Dantonio’s tenure there and 13 were drafted by the pros, which includes a pair of first-round picks. Dantonio has compiled 23 seasons of coaching experience in the college ranks, 12 of them in the state of Ohio, where he earned all-state football honors as a senior at Zanesville High. Prior to his stint at Ohio State, Dantonio spent six seasons (1995-2000) as secondary coach at The Dantonio Family: Mark and Becky with daughters Lauren and Kristen Michigan State, five under Nick Saban and one un- der Bobby Williams.

  • Developing a Metric to Evaluate the Performances of NFL Franchises In
    Developing a Metric to Evaluate the Performance of NFL Franchises in Free Agency Sampath Duddu, William Wu, Austin Macdonald, Rohan Konnur University of California - Berkeley Abstract This research creates and offers a new metric called Free Agency Rating (FAR) that evaluates and compares franchises in the National Football League (NFL). FAR is a measure of how good a franchise is at signing unrestricted free agents relative to their talent level in the offseason. This is done by collecting and combining free agent and salary information from Spotrac and player overall ratings from Madden over the last six years. This research allowed us to validate our assumptions about which franchises are better in free agency, as we could compare them side to side. It also helped us understand whether certain factors that we assumed drove free agent success actually do. In the future, this research will help teams develop better strategies and help fans and analysts better project where free agents might go. The results of this research show that the single most significant factor of free agency success is a franchise’s winning culture. Meanwhile, factors like market size and weather, do not correlate to a significant degree with FAR, like we might anticipate. 1 Motivation NFL front offices are always looking to build balanced and complete rosters and prepare their team for success, but often times, that can’t be done without succeeding in free agency and adding talented veteran players at the right value. This research will help teams gain a better understanding of how they compare with other franchises, when it comes to signing unrestricted free agents.

The Look Man has joined other notables in getting fleeced by Vegas. Teams are blowing close games at a record pace, and the Zebras seem part and parcel of the conspiracy in recent weeks. After Vegas got killed by teams covering double digit spreads early, most of the chalk games have been producing of late.
