A Tampa vs Dallas XFL Championship seems like the best possibility right now IMO.

A football analyst? Seriously, what is with the obsession with sports and analytics?

Parker's not a statistician, he's a defensive backs coach.

Not listed below is the presumed DFO Catherine Rache. Josh Hinch is the director of player personnel.

From the football side of things. You get an idea as to how many staff members each XFL team will have. The coaching staff currently has 9 assistants in total. Not listed from The Tampa Bay Times, is a WR or TE coach. Some of the assistants may be pulling double duty. Perhaps those particular hires could be announced soon.

This looks like a pretty standard football staff. The analytics side is no surprise to me. Considering Trestman is involved, He's always been an analytics guy, dating back to the 80's. I don't suspect that every staff will have a member or two dedicated to this field but essentially, these staff members are numbers guys for the head coach. They come in with opponent tendencies broken down for each weekly game plan. Each staff has members dedicated to compiling and breaking down data, like for example, an opponents personnel groupings on 2nd and long versus second and short, or play call tendencies for every opponent for every single situation. Trestman likes to cover his bases.
