“As the data gets bigger, as it gets more informative, as it gets more granular, then people understand that it can help them and it’s not trying to displace anything,' said Halaby.
He was studying English with a minor in economics at Harvard at the time, but a brief stint at Football Outsiders led to a passion for analytics. Halaby, a former high-school quarterback from Madison, Wisconsin, wasn’t in a position to be picky with where he’d end up, but got a lucky break nonetheless when he got a call back from Howie Roseman.
“I’m fortunate to be able to work across a lot of different parts of the operation,” Halaby said. “The bulk of my time is spent on personnel with our pro guys and our college guys, but I spend a lot of time with analytics, obviously I have a history there, I spend a lot of time with our cap guys, I spend a lot of time with our sports performance, a lot of time with our coaches.”
“I think the reception here has really followed the trajectory of baseball and basketball,” Halaby said. “As the data gets bigger, as it gets more informative, as it gets more granular, then people understand that it can help them and it’s not trying to displace anything. It’s just you’re trying to help yourself make a better decision.
Halaby refuted the notion that he and Pederson had a rocky relationship, pointing to the success the team had during Pederson’s tenure. Halaby’s role has grown beyond the scope of strictly numbers, though. He’s followed a similar career trajectory as Roseman, who started in football operations before making the switch to the personnel side of things, evaluating both draft prospects and players in the league.
