 Great Read Jun 08, 2006
By K. Chastine
I thought this book was very well written. It really captures the challenges that exists in the head coaching position's at Universities. For all that really did not know the truth about Bobby Willimas and his struggles at MSU will learn a great deal after reading this wonderful book. It is also a motivational book for students and athlethes....
A must read!!

 Too Much Preaching and Not Enough Facts From the Author Dec 20, 2008
By Johnny Mullens
The book was an unbalanced read. The section about how Bobby Williams got the job was very interesting. However, the part of the book after Williams was fired was spinned. There is more to keeping a college head coaching job than wins and losses, and Williams had a losing record his last year. At no point were attendance or donations mentioned, which is key to a head coach's popularity. If he had interviewed the president and the athletic director and had more information about their perception of the job Williams had done, the book would have had more credibility. When there are firings, they are not always right. However, as in the case of Williams, there were incidents that triggered it. The book would have been better if it had fewer pages and focus more on Williams.
