Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Stunt 4-3 defense fell short this time... 2.5 to 3 stars
Review: A book for any Michigan State Football fan who lived through the George Perles era. I was a student at MSU during George's era and liked him as a football coach and for what he brought to the University. In this book, I had hoped he was going to share his insight and perspectives on the games and the players he coached. What the book seemed to focused on was his battle with MSU administration and a calling to the NFL (Packers, and Jet).

The book starts by covering his early years growing up in Detroit and playing High School football. George then leaves the state of Michigan to play college football else where (can't let the cat out of the bag). He then finds himself in the Army surrounded by all his High School friends. The Book next focuses on his meeting with Duffy Daugherty and how that meeting affected his entire career... From his first coaching position to his days with the Steelers to MSU.. Book is good so far... Next we get into the mess with the administration and the downfall of the book.

I would recommend this book to any MSU grad or football fan (Steelers).... I would of given it a much higher rating if the book followed the teams he coached and the players
