Dungy's first book was a great read. MIke Leach, Swing your Sword is awesome. Gruden's book is good.

My favorite: The Count of Monte Cristo (all about revenge...awesome!)
My favorite about sports: Twelve Mighty Orphans (excellent read...needs to be a movie, Hoosiers meets TX HS football).

Favorite one I've read has been "Grit" by Angela Duckworth, liked it enough that I read it again this year. Also was a fan of Joe Gibbs book.

Culture Defeats strategy by Coach Randy Jackson. Quick and easy read - will make you consider how you build your culture in your program. Funny story about that book... Last spring or spring before we had an assistant want us to start doing some "team building" stuff with kids during off season...this guy puts some dates on the dry erase board one day when I was out and signs up for one of the dates...so our slap OC and DC put me down for "How to love your team mate"...h3ll I"ve got no idea about that sh*t cause it sounds ghey...so I google it and the above referenced book comes up...so I go to Amazon and drop $25 on the dam thing...it comes in, it's on my desk one day, and slap OC says asks me what I"m going to talk about? I told him I bought that dam book from Jackson (at the time we were in a district with them I think cause he was at G-vine)...slap OC and couple others start laughing cause it was all made up, they knew me talking about loving anything other than a large br3asted woman would be worthless...they really got a kick out of the fact that I had bought the f&cking thing...to this day I haven't read it...sits on my desk as a daily reminder that I have a few people on my to kill list still...BTW, Slap OC read it...

Books I would recommend are anything by Brad Thor or Vince Flynn (or Mills now that Flynn passed)...they are political thrillers...
I don't read that leadership sh*t cause I'm already there baby...
