Customer Review: Got my husband this book as a gift for his birthday. It arrived right on time. He read the first 200 pages waiting for his turn at jury duty, and is really enjoying this book. He said that although there's nothing amazing about the writing style, it has a lot of really great insights into the coach... more info
Customer Review: I graduated from the University of Arkansas. Reading this book and knowing that Houston Nutt replaced Ed Orgeron gave me a different perspective. I liked how the book had Orgeron's life history, which influenced how he and Ole Miss recruited. The anecdotes about the evaluation and discussion of... more info

Customer Review: Excellent account of what playing football for Paul Bryant was like when he was possibly at his meanest. Frustrations from dealing with The University Of Kentucky's lack of support for their winning football program (which Bryant was responsible for) and the job of turning Texas A&M around at... more info
Customer Review: The way Adam describes his life growing up around football could be any one of our stories. I related to many stories he told, and many others brought back fond memories.
