À propos de cet ebook
Football Revolution recovers a key, overlooked, part of the story. The book reveals how Jack Neumeier, a high school football coach in California in the 1970s, built an offensive strategy around a young player named John Elway, whose father was a coach at nearby California State University, Northridge. One of the elder Elwayês assistant coaches, Dennis Erickson, then borrowed Neumeierês innovations and built on them, bringing what we now know as the spread offense onto the national stage at the University of Miami in the 1980s. With Ericksonês career as a lens, this book shows how the inspiration of a high school coach became the dominant offense in college football, prepping a whole generation of quarterbacks for the NFL and forever changing the way the game is played.
