A GOOD LOOK AT GEORGE ALLEN

A VERY WELL WRITTEN STORY ABOUT THE RAH RAH COACH OF THE REDSKINS. IT IS A STORY OF AN INTENSE, WORKAHOLIC, NEVER SATISFIED COACH, WHO BELIEVES IN WINNING WITH VETERANS. HE HAD IMMEDIATE SUCCESS WEAREVER HE COACHED. THE BOOK FOLLOWS HIS PLAYING CAREER IN SCHOOL FOLLOWED BY HIS COACHING CAREER IN COLLEGE, ASSISTANT COACH IN NFL, AND AS HEAD COACH OF RAMS AND REDSKINS. IT MOSTLY COVERS THE 1971 REDSKIN SEASON AND THEIR RISE TO THE PLAYOFFS. VERY DETAILED AND FACT FILLED. WELL WORTH READING.
