A. I. The New Frontier A. I. The New Frontier Using Artificial Intelligence to be a Better Coach by Kevin Kelley - 9 Time State Champion Artificial Intelligence. I first heard about it in Terminator 2 star - ring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The premise of the movie was that A.I. was going to cause computers to start making world decisions and basically decide that people were not making great decisions and start a nuclear war to end the world and start over.

While you are thinking about that, I want you to also go way out in your brain and answer the following questions. Of all the pro, college, and high school football games, what percentage of play callers would you honestly say are very good at their job and you would really like to have them call a game for you if your house was on the line for it? I would say well less than 10%. I get it. It’s super hard to do. The sad thing is, it’s the sin - gle greatest equalizer in a football game.

I believe that every coach has the huge responsibility to do ev - erything possible that is right and within the rules to help them give their team THE BEST CHANCE TO WIN.
