Book excerpt: The ultimate insider's account of a renowned coach and the athletes he inspired With this memoir, former Notre Dame captain Frank Pomarico shares with readers what it was like to play for legendary coach Ara Parseghian, a leader whose guidance extended beyond the playing field and whose tips still inspire his players. The book culminates with the 1973 Sugar Bowl, the climactic and memorable game between Bear Bryant's undefeated Alabama squad and Ara's undefeated Fighting Irish. Pomarico's story is amplified by interviews with dozens of former players and coaches whose lives were changed by their experience with the coach. Parseghian was one of the most successful college coaches ever, and the young men who played for him learned about much more than just blocking and tackling. Ara's Knights is the ultimate insiders' look at one of the great periods in Notre Dame football history.

Book excerpt: Jim Dent, author of the New York Times bestselling The Junction Boys returns with the remarkable and inspiring story of one of the biggest comebacks in college football history. In the 1960's, Notre Dame's football program was in shambles. Little did anyone know, help was on its way in the form of Ara Parseghian, a controversial choice for head coach—the first one outside of the Notre Dame "family." It was now his responsibility to rebuild the once-proud program and teach the Fighting Irish how to win again. But it was no small task. The men of Notre Dame football were a bunch of unlikelies and oddballs, but Parseghian transformed them into a team: a senior quarterback who would win the Heisman Trophy; a five-foot-eight walk-on who would make first team All-American; an exceptionally rare black player, who would overcome much more than his quiet demeanor to rise to All-American, All-Pro, Hall of Famer, and to the Minnesota Supreme Court. Parseghian would change everything, from the uniforms and pads to the offensive strategy. It would be a huge gamble against great obstacles. But Ara Parseghian had that look in his eye.... New York Times bestselling author Jim Dent chronicles one of the greatest comeback seasons in the history of college football. Once again confirming his position as one of the top sports writers in the country, Dent brings the legends of Notre Dame football to life in an unforgettable story of second chances, determination, and unwavering spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, and Lou Holtz. The names of these coaches have become synonymous with one of the few teams in college football that can truly be called a "dynasty" - the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Owners of the two highest winning percentages in college football history, Rockne and Leahy won seven national championships between them. Parseghian was responsible for a pair of national titles, while Holtz has captured one since his reign began at South Bend." "Now these four legendary men are seen in a unique light - through the eyes of the inimitable Edward "Moose" Krause. He came to know, love, and admire these South Bend legends during his own sixty-year career with the Fighting Irish - and now he brings us into the huddle. Completed just before his death in 1992, this fascinating memoir combines Moose's own words with those of nearly one hundred former Notre Dame coaches, players, and administrators to paint an unforgettable portrait of four of the sport's greatest teachers and motivators." "Notre Dame's only two-sport Hall of Famer, in football and basketball, Moose was a three time All-American who played under Rockne, coached under Leahy, hired Parseghian during his thirty-two year stint as Notre Dame's Athletic Director, and later acted as a close advisor to Holtz. A poor boy from the stockyards of Chicago, Moose rose to become a legend both on and off the playing field - "Mr. Notre Dame."" "He recalls Rockne's inspiring locker room orations and his humor and courage in the face of adversity. Rock once coached from a hearse parked on the sidelines, painful phlebitis wracking his legs." "Moose vividly remembers Leahy, the ultimate perfectionist, who stalked the sidelines barking orders in his famous Irish brogue while refusing to let the Fighting Irish lose a single game between 1946 and 1949. His fiery intensity slowly ate away at his health, eventually forcing him to retire from coaching forever at the age of forty-five. Moose speaks warmly of his years with Parseghian, who, during his eleven glorious campaigns at South Bend, brought Notre Dame back to the ranks of the collegiate elite. And finally, he talks revealingly of Holtz, whose ferocity on the field is matched only by his humor off it. A complex and deeply caring man, Holtz coached Notre Dame to a stunning undefeated season, and the national championship, in 1988." "Interwoven through their stories and Moose's is a blow-by-blow account of Notre Dame's topsy-turvy 1992 campaign, when the school bounced back from a loss and a tie to win seven straight games and capture the Cotton Bowl title." "Notre Dame's Greatest Coaches tells the story of a sport, of a country, and of the enormous changes that both game and nation experienced during Moose Krause's long and extraordinary lifetime. As Moose himself says of his early days, "People had a different attitude about sports. They were just happy to be at the game." Moose Krause never lost his love for the game, and in this deeply felt memoir, even the most jaded of sports fans will recapture some of that love as well."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: In 1966, Notre Dame played Michigan State. It was a battle between two of the best teams in college football history. The game ended in a 10-10 tie. Some believe that Notre Dame's football coach, Ara Parseghian, played for this tie. He did not. He played for the National Championship, and won it, a week later. Even after forty-five years, this one college football game played by the 1966 Notre Dame team continues to be debated amongst die-hard fans. The team and the game are still embroiled in controversy- a factor that keeps the memories of Notre Dame's 1966 season alive. On one point only is there agreement- that the Irish were named the undisputed National Champions. What more can be said about a team that allowed only 38 points to be scored against them in ten games, while punishing opponents to the tune of 369 points? As it turns out, a lot, much of it heretofore buried in the fog of the controversy over this one game. Undisputedby Mark O. Hubbard is an incredible and detailed account of Notre Dame's 1966 football season, players, coaches, and the one game that fans have discussed ever since. Hubbard points out this game's immense significance not only in the context of football history, but of American history, reminding the reader that this one game drew a television audience of 33 million-the largest TV sports audience ever-with all spectators watching not just the event itself, but the natural integration of players, black and white, playing together, a significant advancement for racial equality. Though the game steals the limelight, behind the scenes is the Notre Dame Football Team, which brought with it the traditions of fine academics, the Catholic Church, and a close-knit football family with "no breaking point". Coach Parseghian and the players from this team earned for Notre Dame a very precious gift-a National Championship. Undisputed. This is their story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Lieberman reveals a storied football program rife with ethical problems in the hiring of its coaches and the treatment of some of the players themselves.” —Library Journal It was bad enough when popular offensive line coach Joe Moore sued the University of Notre Dame for age discrimination—but matters got much worse when the lawsuit uncovered disquieting evidence of unethical and inappropriate conduct in a football program widely regarded as a model of probity. This is the dramatic story of that explosive lawsuit, which tarnished Notre Dame’s burnished football image. This riveting account begins in November 1996, when Bob Davie is hired as head coach to replace the beloved Lou Holtz. In one of his first, and most fateful, executive decisions, Davie fires sixty-four-year-old Joe Moore because—as Davie puts it—he needs someone younger for the job. Attorney Rick Lieberman takes on Joe Moore’s case and in this absorbing book he describes the trial and the enormous tensions to which litigants like Joe Moore are subject. This is a David and Goliath story in which the Notre Dame attorneys attempt to destroy Joe Moore’s reputation as both a coach and a man. In the process, Davie’s own background comes under close scrutiny as a reporter’s investigation reveals some damning evidence. And as the trial proceeds, Notre Dame’s football program is shown to be rife with legal improprieties and inappropriate behavior involving both coaches and administrators. Anyone interested in sports, in the law, in stories of blatant injustice—and in Notre Dame—will find Personal Foul a fascinating, revealing and memorable read. “A testament to the seedy side of big-money college sports.” —Booklist

Download or read book No Excuses written by Charlie Weis and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weis was taught football by some of the best minds in the game: Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick. Parcells would give him a life-defining break in 1990 by hiring him as an assistant on the New York Giants staff. For a Jersey guy who loved sports, this was a dream come true, especially when Weis won his first championship in his debut year in the NFL. He'd always wanted to be a sports announcer—the next Marv Albert—but he'd caught the coaching bug and was now in a position to learn from the best. And he did, following Parcells to the New England Patriots and then to the New York Jets. Under enormous pressure and exacting standards, Weis flourished and later became offensive coordinator. When Parcells stepped down as coach of the Jets, Weis joined his colleague and friend Bill Belichick, who was the newly named Patriots head coach. Together they would thrive, building a storied franchise, a rare modern-day dynasty that won three Super Bowls in four years. Through it all, Weis designed offensive schemes that would befuddle even the best defenses in the NFL, and he coached a number of players to greatness, including Pro Bowlers Ben Coates, Curtis Martin, and, of course, Tom Brady. The chance of a lifetime arrived in December of 2004: Weis was offered the opportunity to lead one of the most prestigious football schools in the country, Notre Dame—home of coaching legends Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine, and Lou Holtz. And so began a new chapter in Weis's career. Weis took over a program in dire need of direction, and now he is in the process of building his own legacy with his unique vision. Off the field, Weis faced his other challenges. Seeking to improve his health and lose weight, he decided to get gastric bypass surgery. What he thought would be a routine procedure turned into a nightmare as he nearly bled to death, lapsed into a coma, and was read the last rites. It was a horrifying experience, yet he battled back in inspiring fashion and still demands nothing less of himself despite the long-lasting aftereffects. He has had his joys, too. Weis considers his wife, Maura, his best friend. They have two beautiful children: Charlie, his "best buddy," and Hannah, who he and his wife consider their "guiding angel." Hannah is developmentally delayed and has been the inspiration leading to the establishment of Hannah and Friends, a nonprofit foundation seeking to improve the quality of life for people with special needs. No Excuses is not only illuminating and insightful, it is an extraordinary look inside one of football's greatest minds who has helped shape today's game.
