Coaching Confidential by Gary Myers

Coaching Confidential by Gary Myers

A behind-the-scenes look at the high-pressure lives of NFL head coaches

Coaching Confidential chronicles a year in the life of an NFL head coach. But not just one head coach. A composite portrait is drawn through interviews with at least 20 current and former head coaches (including Super Bowl winners such as Bill Parcells, Tom Coughlin, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy, Sean Payton, Mike Shanahan, Dick Vermeil, Mike Holmgren, Brian Billick, and Joe Gibbs), taking us through the professional and personal challenges of the job. This book covers the draft, free agency, big trades, training camp, family crisis, player troubles, coaching relationships with members of the staff, coach-owner dynamics, rivalries, Xs and Os, the playoffs--all the way to the Super Bowl.
Just getting to Sunday is almost a relief for NFL head coaches. It's during that three-hour window 16 days a year when they can simply concentrate on what they do best, which is trying to win football games. But the job is, of course, much more than that.

The New York Daily News' NFL columnist is Gary Myers. He's written three books: The Catch (2009), on the legendary 1981 NFC Championship Game between the Cowboys and the 49ers; Coaching Confidential (2012), about the pressures of being an NFL head coach; and Brady vs. Brady, a New York Times bestseller. Manning (2015) is an intimate look at the NFL's greatest rivalry. Since 1978, Myers has been covering the NFL. He appeared on HBO's Inside The NFL and the YES Network's This Week in Football as a cast member. He is a part-time lecturer at Syracuse University and a Pro Football Hall of Fame voter.
