Reviews
"Barra, a thinking man's sportswriter, has a companion piece to the outstanding biography of Vince Lombardi, by David Maraniss." -- Mike Jensen (Philadelphia Inquirer) "Illuminating." -- George Will (Newsweek) "A wonderful read. [Barra] has written a thoughtful, inquiring and evocative look at the life and times of the legendary coach." -- Paul Finebaum (Mobile Register) "Admirably ambitious. . . . Barra is one of the country's most thoughtful writers on the subject." -- Buzz Bissinger (New York Times) "A worthy work that does much to separate myth from fact and to restore the sense of Bryant himself." -- Michale MacCambridge (Wall Street Journal) "A biography with a bite . . . a work of solid fact, airtight and accurate." -- Bill Briggs (Denver Post)

Synopsis
Jim Dent's New York Times best-selling book The Junction Boys only explored one season in the life of legendary football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. Now, in Allen Barra's enthralling new biography, the full story of Bryant's dramatic career unfolds under the bright lights of big-time college football. Coming of age during the hardscrabble years of the Great Depression, Bryant (1913-1983) transformed college football like no one before or after. Whether serving as coach at Maryland, Kentucky, Texas A&M, or finally with the Crimson Tide of Alabama, Bryant--gutsy, demanding, ruthlessly competitive--notched victory after victory and shattered virtually every coaching record. In doing, so he helped integrate college football and left behind a legacy of all-star players and coaches, including Joe Namath and George Blanda. In a narrative as thrilling as an overtime victory, The Last Coach is the unforgettable portrait not only of a coach but also of the heroic age of college football., The full story of Paul "Bear" Bryant's dramatic career unfolds under the bright lights of big-time college football. Coming of age during the hardscrabble years of the Great Depression, Bryant transformed college football like no one before or after.

    • The best of the bear...

      The only book you will ever need to read, have, share, and discuss. Great storytelling, the ending is bittersweet and moving. Real insight into an American treasure. Kind of like a how to be a man.
