As a fan of TCU, I have been mesmerised by the change of offensive play since Sonny Cumbie became the offensive coordinator in 2014. I knew that Cumbie played under Mike Leach at Texas Tech but I never understood Leach's system. I considered Leach to be an eccentric coach running a version of the Run and Shoot offence. This book allowed me to dive deep into the genius and origin of Leach's offence. Gwynne does a masterful job at telling the story of the forward pass and the god father of the modern spread offence. I didn't know Hal Mumme before I started the book and now I want to watch every game he coached.
I recommend this book to any fan of American Football. This is the top book I have read about the sport.
