Pappy, the Gentle Bear: A Coach Who Changed Football...and the Men Who Played It

Rating:
Summary: "Pappy" Not Sappy!
Review: Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Mr. Cameron's tome of Lynn Waldorf. Having lived after "Pappy's" reign as a coach and a as a coach myself, I found out, interestingly enough, how little the game has changed. There still is the organization and planning of a program, the intense rivalry and competion, sacrifice, the desire to be a part of something bigger than yourself and the realization that football is just a stepping stone for life. If you know a true "student of the game", coach, player or amateur football "historian", this is a great gift and a fantastic and inspiring read. I wish I played for Coach Waldorf.
