"Considered the bible of scouting techniques" according to the Los
Angeles Times, Football Scouting Methods explains the basic
scouting strategies and insights of author Steve Belichick. He was
widely viewed as the ablest football scout of his time and coached
at the U.S. Naval Academy for 33 years; his son is New England
Patriots coach Bill Belichick, a three-time Super Bowl winner. When
Steve Belichick died in November 2005, the New York Times headline
cited him as "Coach Who Wrote the Book on Scouting," and quoted
Houston Texans General Manager Charley Casserly calling Football
Scouting Methods "the best book on scouting he had ever read." Joe
Bellino, Navy's Heisman Trophy winner in 1960, told the Times that
Steve Belichick "was a genius. On Monday nights, he would give us
his scouting reports, and even though we were playing powerhouses,
I always felt we were prepared because he found a way for us to
win." In recent years Football Scouting Methods has been one of the
top ten most sought out-of-print books; used copies have been quite
scarce. This reissue edition makes the original 1962 text available
once again in exact facsimile. The book covers how to scout
opponents, recognize defenses, analyze offenses, discover
"tip-offs" that reveal the opponent's plays, compose a useful
report, self-scout, and conduct postgame analysis. "Steve Belichick
taught many younger men how to scout and how to watch film and how
to prepare their teams for the next week's game," David Halberstam
noted in the Washington Post, and his best student was his own son
Bill Belichick, "one of whose greatest skills as a coach to this
day remains his ability to analyze other teams, figuring out both
their strengths and their vulnerabilities, and shrewdly deciding
how to take away from them that which they most want to do." When
CBS asked Bill Belichick to name his favorite book, he replied
"Well, I've got to go with my dad's. Football Scouting Methods. I'd
have to go with that."
