I think it would be a great idea for all football teams (college & pro) to invest in at least 2 statistical analysis guys (one for each offense and defense-split on special teams) to be used not only during game plan prep during the week, but also as part of game day play calling. The OC/DC should have the final call of course, but I'd get as much input as possible.
Heck, most colleges have statistics students. Make it a paid internship through that college at the university.
