Alright, so check it, today I’m spilling the beans on digging into Blake Sims’ stats. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but here’s how it went down.
First off, I remembered hearing the name Blake Sims somewhere. I started with the most basic thing you can do: a straight up Google search. Typed in “Blake Sims” and saw a bunch of stuff pop up – mostly about football.
College Days & Early Career: I quickly learned he used to play quarterback for Alabama. So, I tweaked my search to “Blake Sims Alabama stats.” That got me somewhere. Found a bunch of sports sites with basic stats like passing yards, touchdowns, the usual stuff.
- I saw something about him holding the Alabama single-season passing yards record for a while, which was kinda cool.
- Also saw he was part of a couple of national championship teams. Not bad!
Coaching Career: Next, I saw stuff about him getting into coaching. That piqued my interest. My search then evolved into “Blake Sims coaching stats” or “Blake Sims coach record.” This is where it got a little trickier.
See, finding stats for a player is way easier than finding detailed info for a coach, especially a position coach. I did manage to dig up a few articles mentioning his roles at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy and West Alabama. These articles mainly talked about him joining the coaching staff.
I couldn’t find like, official “stats” for his coaching performance. It’s not like they track wide receiver stats that are solely attributable to the wide receivers coach. That info is usually baked into overall team performance.
The Deep Dive:
So I changed tactics. I went from looking for numbers to looking for anecdotes and observations. I started searching for team reports, game analyses, anything mentioning the wide receivers under his coaching. I wanted to see if I could find mentions of improvements, specific plays, or anything that showed his impact.
Honestly, that’s where it kinda stalled. Finding that level of detail is tough without being an insider. Sports journalism and team blogs might have something, but I didn’t have access to those resources.
My takeaway? Finding stats for a player is relatively straightforward. But figuring out a coach’s impact, especially at the position level, is a whole different ballgame. You have to dig deep, look for qualitative data, and sometimes, you just hit a wall. It’s like trying to track the wind – you can see the effects, but measuring the source is difficult.
Anyways, that’s my little journey into the world of Blake Sims’ stats. Not a complete success, but learned a thing or two along the way.
