Now in paperback with a new afterword, the New York Times
bestseller by college football's most colorful, endearing, and
successful pioneer, Steve Spurrier, in which he shares his story of
a life in football--from growing up in Tennessee to winning the
Heisman Trophy to playing and coaching in the pros to leading the
Florida Gators to six SEC Championships and a National Championship
to elevating the South Carolina program to new heights--and
coaching like nobody else. He's been called brash, cocky, arrogant,
pompous, egotistical, and hilarious, but mostly he's known as the
Head Ball Coach, a self-ordained term introduced to the lexicon of
football by none other than the man himself, Steve Spurrier. He is
the only coach who can claim to be the winningest coach at two
different SEC schools and the only person who has won both the
Heisman Trophy as a player and a National Championship as a coach.
Or who has won a Heisman and coached a Heisman winner. From the
beginning, Spurrier didn't want to sound like other coaches, dress
like other coaches, and, especially, coach like other coaches. As a
controversial football pioneer, he ushered in a different style of
leadership and play. Spurrier's press conferences were glorious--he
refused to lapse into coachspeak and was always entertaining,
although he took his football very seriously. He was known for his
fierce competitiveness, roaming up and down the sidelines, often
throwing his signature visor to the ground in disgust. In his
memoir, Spurrier talks for the first time about the circumstances
under which he unexpectedly became a coach and why he resigned at
South Carolina. He explains his unique style, the difference
between winners and losers, his relationship with the media, why he
follows the wisdom of ancient philosophers and warriors, his
affinity for everything taught by John Wooden, and the reasons
behind his relaxed regimen for living well. Spurrier, as always,
speaks candidly, bringing together his thoughts about his words,
actions, and achievements, while telling countless wonderful
anecdotes.
