Patriots reportedly add personnel analytics coordinator to Mike Vrabel’s staff

An Identity Emerges for Mike Vrabel's Patriots - Athlon Sports

The New England Patriots have created another position on head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff.

The organization has hired Max Mulitz as personnel analytics coordinator, according to a report Friday from ESPN’s Seth Walder.

Mulitz spent the previous four seasons as the director of coaching analytics for the Miami Dolphins. His time on the other side of the AFC East began under the role of football analyst in 2018. He went on work as the manager of coaching analytics during the 2019 and 2020 campaigns.

The stay in Miami’s administrative football operations came to a close in March.

Graduating from Brown University with a bachelor’s degree in mathematical economics, Mulitz entered the NFL ranks as a full-time intern in the data research department of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, per his website, FootballResearchBlog. He worked toward his master’s degree in data science at George Washington University.

It marks the second reported move of June on the analytics side in Foxborough.

The Patriots previously hired Ekene Olekanma, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens, as director of coaching analytics.

“We want to use technology to the best of our ability and what we can do to help us be more efficient, to help us make better decisions, informed decisions,” Vrabel said during mandatory minicamp on Monday. “I don’t think you can rely and base every decision off the numbers, but I also think that those are important to ask questions and then be able to follow up and come to a sound decision on everything that we do. Personnel, coaching decisions, player health and safety, strength and conditioning, every aspect of our program.

“Hopefully, we’ll have some analytical background and data that we can rely on that they can ask questions. When you look at coaching, self-scout and opponent breakdown, how we become more efficient with that system.”
