Many lessons to be learned from this book. Plus no one can argue with their success.

Amazon.com was surprisingly fast, it took only two weeks! Just started reading the book, so I've not yet reached the point of ultimate wisdom .

This is a great book. I have been a national honor society sponsor the last 2 years for 2 of our players. I have given this book as a gift to each of them.

Justyrn stated: "My next thought was that I would have expected a bit less color in the language of a religion studies teacher."
I agree, here in the public schools (90% Mormon). You would be fired for talking like that around kids. Can't even say the "A" word.

I wish the writer would have put more team identifying attributes about opponents. He did a little bit of this, but I would have liked more detail so I could identify with the programs they played against a little better.
The book I would really like to read, would be the book about the program itself. Workouts, practices, offensive and defensive schemes as well as fundamentals and technique.

Coach Orr I agree, I am about 100 pages into the book now. I really didn't care that player x sprained his ankle. I also for some reason don't like the writing style of the author. My library finally got me the Jim Tressel book which I like alot better. I am forcing myself to read it slowly. I'll probably end up buying that one too

I kind of like the writing style, especially how it jumps around through time. It keeps the game portions interesting.
As the book goes on, however, there is more description of other teams styles. I wonder if it because he becomes educated more to the game the longer he hangs around the program. I gotta check out the Jim Tressel book.

Reading it, definitely makes me feel less of a coach.
