Synopsis:

The first full-length biography of the legendary head coach of the Cleveland Browns, this book explores how Paul Brown worked his way from high school coach to pro football Hall of Famer, while setting forth a blueprint for the modern game. As the first coach to scout opponents through game films, call plays from the sideline, and systemize the college draft, Brown finessed the sport into a more precise science. His teams rarely disappointed, and he created a winning dynasty in Cleveland, coaching the Browns to three NFL championships and four AAFC titles. Based on extensive research and original interviews with former player and others, this book examines in absorbing detail Paul Brown's profound influence on the game.

From the Publisher: "Once we get out of the public eye our ranking as coaches will kind of slide down. That's the way life is. But if there is a list of great coaches that has any meaning, the name right at the top has to be Paul Brown."
--from the foreword by the late Bill Walsh
