A true legend

Having the privilege of following coach Parcells career, I thoroughly enjoyed this behind the scenes look at this true NFL Legend .

Great book

It was a great insight to a great coach. Even though it was quite long in length, the book flowed well.

Better than expected...

For some reason, i expected a preachy or arrogant book. However, this book was just the opposite: a thorough retelling of a football coach's life, with the right balance of personal and professional stories.

It was nice to hear the other side of controversies without the provocative angles used by some in the media. Instead, we simply hear one person's take on an issue without definitive conclusions or claims that "I was in the right!"

That said, the one drawback in the book was that i was hoping for more coverage on the comments and abrassiveness that made me interested in Parcells' book to begin with. I feel like the biggest stories were indeed covered. However, if you knew nothing about him, you'd come away wondering why in the world so many people found him controversial.

Overall, the book exceeded my expectations and was indeed an engaging football book.

Trent's Take

Great book. Very revealing insights into Parcel's Football life. My wife, not a big sports fan, also thought it was a fun book.
