For 39 seasons at four schools, Dr. Edward N. Anderson spent autumn
afternoons roaming the sidelines of college and university
gridirons across America. Throughout his career, dignity, composure
and a penetrating focus were hallmarks of his sideline decorum.
This biography catalogues the life of that ""good doctor"" who
became dean of America's college football coaches and was enshrined
in the College Football Hall of Fame for lasting influence.
Beginning with his young life as a star player, the book relates
how Anderson mastered the game as an All-American end under Notre
Dame's legendary Knute Rockne. Then, armed with a firm command of
the so-called Notre Dame system of football, Anderson entered the
collegiate coaching ranks in 1922 and served as a head coach for
all but four of the next 43 years. Simultaneously, he devoted
himself to the practice of medicine and guided his teams to
hundreds of victories. Dr. Anderson is a football icon not only for
the indelible impression he made on hundreds of young men who had
played for him but also for his role as one of the last of an era
of gentlemen coaches who had cut their teeth on football during the
Rockne era. On the eve of his retirement from college football in
1964, Dr. Anderson was the game's elder statesman, revered by
players, fellow coaches, fans and members of the press. His
football odyssey, during which he crossed paths with the most
influential and colorful personalities of the game, is chronicled
in depth.
