About this book
Dennis Franchione, known as Coach Fran, is one of the winningest coaches in college football history. He successfully turned around football programs at every stop during his head coaching career. From his first job as a head coach of a high school near his hometown to a Sun Bowl victory at TCU and stints at Alabama and Texas A&M, this book takes readers behind the scenes of what it was like to run the show on the field, as well as the tragedies he faced throughout his life and how he overcame them. Readers will join former players and coaches on the sidelines as they relive some of the greatest games in college football in that era and get to hear some of the greatest football stories never told. Coach Fran shares the good, the bad, and the ugly of the most beloved game in the country. From his own personal tragedies to the bright lights of college football, Coach Fran's story is one of hope and the ability to do anything in life if you have the determination and drive to make it happen.
