Synopsis

An intimate look at the life and career of Woody Hayes, this collection allows for those people who knew the Ohio State University football coach best to tell his life story. From assistant coaches to former players, administrators, friends, opponents, and the media they're all here with stories about on-the-field situations and off-the-field moments of conflict and caring that very few fans know anything about. I Remember Woody goes past the X's and O's of football to provide the story of an inspiring mentor who was an expert at guiding young men into adulthood. Readers who think they knew what made Hayes tick, will find they don't know the man behind the myth until they read this unparalleled and inspiring book about a coach who changed the lives of countless men and women.

About this title

From the Author:

College football fans: It's Woody, warts and all!
This is an important book because it fully develops the character of Woody Hayes -- "If you're going to paint me, then paint me warts and all," he once told an interviewer -- through the voices of those who knew the Old Coach best: his players, his assistants, support staff, opposing players and coaches, members of the media, friends and foes. It takes you behind the barriers, into closed practices and into his inner sanctum. It is all at once realistic, riveting, poignant, humorous, thought-provoking, inspiring and truthful. We hope you find our efforts noteworthy. We'll happily sign your copy. Contact me via e-mail for details.
