Integrity in coaching college football

By Kim Shippey Sentinel staff

Anyone who has followed US college football over the last 50 years will know the name Bobby Bowden—one of the "winningest" coaches in the history of Division 1. Coaches, players, administrators, alumni, and faculty know the firm ethical and moral stance he has taken throughout his career.

But if you're expecting his guide to coaching college football, The Bowden Way: 50 Years of Leadership Wisdom —written with one of his sons, Steve—to be a genteel, self-effacing homily from this man who puts God at the top of his list of life's priorities, you're going to be disappointed. (Next by the way, come family, other people, and football.)

This is a how-to-do-it book from a man used to spelling it out for hulky footballers and ambitious assistant coaches. Undisguised, unadulterated advice suffuses every chapter.
