American Coach

Award-winning sportswriter Ivan Maisel explores the remarkable life and legacy of Notre Dame's legendary football coach Frank Leahy, drawing on rare archives and family cooperation. Once second only to Knute Rockne in college football history, Leahy's achievements include six undefeated seasons and four national championships, yet he remains largely forgotten today. The audiobook offers a detailed look into his rise, innovations, conflicts, and enduring impact on Notre Dame and college football. It is a rediscovery of a coaching icon whose influence shaped a defining era for the sport.
