Amos Alonzo Stagg (1862-1965) grew up one of eight children in a
poor New Jersey family, graduated high school at 21 and worked his
way through Yale. His goal was to become a Presbyterian minister,
but he dropped out of Yale Divinity School because he felt he could
have more influence on young men through coaching. He was hired as
the first football coach at University of Chicago after its
founding in 1892. Under Stagg's leadership, Chicago emerged as one
of the nation's most formidable football teams during the early
20th century, winning seven Big Ten championships and two national
championships. After Chicago forced him to retire at 70, Stagg
found another coaching position at College of the Pacific, where he
was forced to retire at 84. He found another job and never fully
retired from coaching until he was 98. His marriage to his wife to
Stella -his de facto assistant coach-lasted almost 70 years. Sports
Illustrated wrote of him, "If any single individual can be said to
have created today's game, Stagg is the man. He either invented
outright or pioneered every aspect of the modern game from...the
huddle, shift and tackling dummy to such refinements as the
T-formation strategy." This biography tells the story of his life
and many innovations, which made him one of the great pioneers of
college football.

An Atlanta insurance salesman, George Burnett, accidentally
overheard a telephone conversation and became the center of a
scandal that riveted the world of college football in 1962-63. He
thought he overheard Wally Butts, the athletic director and
ex-football coach of the University of Georgia, give his friend
Paul "Bear" Bryant, the legendary University of Alabama coach, play
formations and details that helped Alabama defeat Georgia 35-0 in
the 1962 season opener. Burnett's story was published by the
Saturday Evening Post several months later, and Butts and Bryant
both sued for libel. Butts' case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court, which made a historic 5-4 decision in Butts. v. Curtis
Publishing that expanded the definition of "public figures." While
this case has been written about frequently in Bryant biographies
and elsewhere, Sumner relies on more than 3,000 pages of letters,
reports, memos, depositions, and trial transcripts from archival
sources and reveals new facts and information never published
before.
