	The Houston Astros just won their first World Series after recently suffering three straight 100+ loss seasons from 2011-2013 under GM Jeff Luhnow. Rather than fire him he was given a new contract in 2014 and three years later here they are.

<p>
	I found a screenshot of his wiki page on twitter rather interesting....which will not doubt annoy some of you (most of whom can’t @ me for discussion rather they call me names buried in other threads, pathetic) as this isn’t baseball etc etc blah blah analytics doesn’t work. Despite vast amounts of data proving otherwise and every nfl organisation having an analytics department.
</p>

<p>
	Anyhoo, here’s the passage I found interesting, especially the bottom paragraph.....get your pitchforks ready

			But even so, Hue is the HC, he signed up knowing Sashi had final say on roster. It is Hue's job to bring our QBs on, it is his job to bring all the players on, I dont have much sympathy for him. He isn't coaching what he has well and seems to be instead blaming everybody else

<p>
	I don't disagree that he isn't calling plays to make the job easier on the QB.   Look at the throws he had Hogan throwing....dude has to know he doesn't have the arm to make that throw yet it still kept getting called.  He finally last week started calling some sort passes to make things easier on Kizer.    The clock management is infuriating.....its not that hard.  Wanted to send him a game of Madden to play over the bye week so he can learn some clock management skills.     That's why I don't think he gets brought back next year.  Something has to change with a team with a record this poor.  If Jimmy is sold on the moneyball/analytics, then still something needs to be done and it's going to be Hue that pays the price.
