A Super Bowl-winning former head coach provides an insider perspective on how off-field battles affect playtime competitions, sharing the additional insights of influential NFL figures to discuss how team building is negotiated and the economic pressures facing coaches and players.
Review:
"It seems like everyone these days tries to give fans an inside look into professional football. But in "More Than a Game" -- through the eyes of a championship coach with a sense of the world, and a journalist who understands the history of pro football better than anyone -- we get closer than ever to the practice fields, the meeting rooms, the executive offices, and the stadiums where games are won and lost." -- Joe Posnanski, "Sports Illustrated"
"Like Brian Billick, I've experienced the ultimate highs and lows of being a head coach in the NFL, so I read "More Than a Game" with great personal interest. Brian writes with fascinating detail about a wide range of topics facing the sport. There's eye-opening perspective on how the game has evolved, and how he sees it changing in the future. If you care about pro football, this is a tremendous book and a pleasure to read -- I felt like I was in the room and on the field with him in each chapter." -- Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden
"A clear-eyed appreciation and critique of the game and business of football, combining the perspectives of a Super Bowl-winning coach and a first-rate journalist." -- Bob Costas
"Having played in the NFL, I think "More Than a Gam"e does a great job helping fans of pro football gain a deeper understanding of how coaches and general managers make their key decisions, especially in respect to drafting and keeping players. The book also addresses the critical issues facing the NFL's future, such as the league's salary cap agreement with the players. I know fans will really enjoy this book because I enjoyed it myself." -- Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman
