If you can use Excel, you can use Statman!

High school and college football coaches, athletic directors, boosters, parents, and students from around the world use Statman to keep and track their football team's stats. Also, many high school TV and radio crews are Statman users.

But, anyone from top level stat crews down to junior varsity level and below can use it.  All you need is a computer and Excel.

Although Statman is intended for keeping live stats, some Statman users still keep the stats on paper (old habits are hard to break) and transfer them to Statman after the game.   For those users (or if you simply can't use a laptop at your game because of the weather or other conditions), Statman includes a printable sheet designed to quickly write down plays to transfer to Statman.

Coaches can also use Statman in the film room.

Of course, Statman includes a season stats package! Many Statman users are responsible for keeping stats at their local high school so the program is designed first for their needs.  

Season statistics have been well-received from coaches and athletic directors as very useful and easy to use. Users continually compliment on the ease of input, and the functionality and appearance of the output files (testimonials).  

Statman accumulates season statistics for up to 16 games!

A schedule and results configuration file helps with game setup and facilitates viewing and printing season and game-by-game statistics.

Statman includes a Season Record Book. This processes all of the season game files to determine season highs in a variety of categories for individuals and team, for both your team and your opponent's records.

Statman includes an integrated Coachstats. Coaches, media, and fans can track play calling tendencies for their team and their opponent for a game or season. By entering an offensive play formation, a rush/pass zone code for offensive plays and a ball spot prior to the snap, Statman tracks yards gained by zone, down and distance, game time/situation, offensive play formation, and short/wide field tendencies.

Output pages include: 1) Playsheet for your team and your opponent charting yards gained and success rate by rush/pass zone; 2) Sortable play call sheet allows sorting all plays by formation, down, yards gained, ball spot, or by pass/rush zone; and 3) detailed CoachStats summary comparisons.

Statman includes a comprehensive Offensive Line grading system.

Here's how it works:   During the game (or after the game), enter the plays and results as normal for Statman and Coachstats for the appropriate game file. During the film session, open the offensive line grading file and activate. Statman will import all plays (description, ball spots, play zones, etc.).  Your opponent's possessions are shaded out for ease of use.  Input your starting line at the top of the sheet and begin grading while watching the film . . . it is that easy!

Enter the number of your player(s) who do not complete a block (the default is completed block). Track pancake blocks, key blocks, 2nd block downfield . . . as well as sacks allowed and penalties. Easily enter a substitute lineman. This will tabulate and grade your line for the game . . . and season!

Statman is very user-friendly.  All instructions, helpful hints, and cheat sheets are included in the program, here's what you do in a nutshell
  • Before the season begins, enter your team's name, roster and schedule.
  • Before each game, enters the opposing team name and roster.  Most of the work is done! 
  • Throughout the game, input the action (pass, run, etc.), the jersey number of the rusher (or passer & receiver), and the yard line advanced to. 
  • Entering tacklers, hash mark ball spots, and pass/rush zones are optional, but once you are familiar, this is easy to maintain. 
  • At the end of each drive, enter the time remaining in the quarter. 
  • On kicks, punts, and turnovers, enter the starting yard line and returned to.
  • If something isn't right (whether it's your error or just a very strange play), you can simply overwrite the formula in any cell to make it right.  Other programs don't allow you this flexibility.  On those programs, you are stuck and required to get it right in order to proceed.  This is when you fall behind.
  • All of this and a whole lot more is detailed in the included Statman instructions.
Want even more? Statman can be set up to provide a comprehensive LIVE stats summary screen for your media (streaming internet?, Radio?) On numerous occasions, even ESPN has complimented Statman’s stats display as simple to read, yet complete.

Statman Football can be core for your job as a football statistician or may simply be an inexpensive hobby for any football fan.

My name is Andrew Brady.  I have worked on the stat crew for all Florida State Seminoles home football games since 1996.  My role on the stat crew is data entry. I have been able to recreate the same stats -- and more -- that are tabulated in college football games using Statman. In recent years, I have been fortunate to have development help from Jon Kozan (game statistician for Valor Christian HS in Colorado) and Rick Nelson (game statistician for Ennis HS in Texas). These experienced high school statisticians have helped me develop the program to the next level!

Almost all of our development is based on feedback and suggestions by Statman users. We rely on your feedback to evolve Statman into the most useful for the most people. Over the years, we have established an awesome base of regular customers and friends, and Statman has been used all over the world for all levels of football . . . including as a backup to the NFL proprietary software, bowl games, state high school championships and more.
