About this listen

Three college, star football players and friends. One dream. Upon graduating from the University of Alabama, they vow that whoever gets the first head coach job will bring the other two along with them. Thus began their quest to be the winningest partnership of coaches the sport had ever seen. Only one lived to see their dream realized. Their story remained untold. Until now.

From their early days at Alabama as players, to WWII, where the three play a key role developing the Navy’s most transformational program, known as the Navy V-5 Pre-Flight training, to their post-war years at University of Maryland, Kentucky, West Point, Virginia Tech and Texas A&M, where they implement the foundational elements of the V-5 to their teams as they struggle through both the growing pains of the sport and those of their partnership, with Bryant as head coach, and Laslie and Moseley his faithful, able assistants, pilot, wingman, and navigator respectively as they strive to create championship teams with an eye always on a return to Alabama.

Written by Coach Laslie’s granddaughter, Carey Keefe, the ever-important role of the families is never forgotten, their stories woven throughout using personal letters and diaries made accessible to the author, as well as a rich collection of photos from both private and public collections, creating an inside and fascinating look at not only the sport but what it cost for those who became the face of its success.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
