Haven't read book because I don't own it. This book is out of my price range. If I were a coach I would consider it.

The Definitive Study on the Game

This is a definitive study of building a football franchise from the ground floor, even before there are desks and chairs in the executive offices. The application is vast, since it can be explored at a variety of levels; those studying sports management, fans of the game who want an insider's perspective or those involved in the sport at any amateur/professional position. I joke with people that the management of new Cleveland Browns needed copies of the book as owner Al Lerner launched that franchise in the 1990s. But all kidding aside, this gives the reader a comprehensive understanding on what it takes to get a team onto the field on Sunday afternoon and the foundation required before those cleats even hit the stadium turf.

A bible for football coaches everywhere!

In his book, Bill Walsh goes through football from A to Z. Everything, and I mean everything that you would ever want to know about football, from offensive and defensive philosophy to the role of the "head of football relations" to what to tell a team after a disappointing season is covered. Every serious coach has heard of Bill Walsh and understands the role his innovative offensive philosophy plays in modern football. Now read his exact ideas for yourself.

a well-conceived publication that is any coach's dream

I have seldom seen anyone as detailed, as thorough, or as organized as Bill Walsh. This book should be a measuring stick for every coach, administrator, general manager, owner, or businessman. Walsh provides readers with virtually every situation a coach could experience. It is the most complete football book I have ever seen. The Genius leaves nothing out.

Another awesome work by Walsh

Walsh's previous book, Building a Champion, was sort of a topical, overview, easy-read version of this book. In this one, Walsh fleshes out ALL of the details of all of his philosophies on how to run a football organization from management to players. He outlines the job descriptions of everyone in the organization from the GM down to the office secretaries. He covers every esoteric subject like Who should drive a prospective player back to the airport after interviewing with the team. There's also tons of real (as opposed to administrative) football here. He describes what to look for when evaluating players. How to construct offensive and defensive game plans, and plenty more. This book is a NFL Head Coach's blueprint, bible, and handbook. However, there's plenty here for the fanatic knowledge-hungry fan to take their understanding of the game up several notches. Not for the "only casually" interested.
