One of favorite books is "The Game-Makers" by Jack Clary. The book profiles NFL coaches: Paul Brown, Chuck Knox, Tom Landry, John Madden, Chuck Noll, Bum Phillips, John Ralston and Don Shula. The book was written in 1976 and is a great resource.
"Coaching is teaching and an efficient teacher can get the job done. Efficiency is the prime objective from a teaching standpoint. A teacher, or coach, cannot wander because he works with attention spans that are short for what he must acomplish.....The first thing I learned as an assistant coach was that you must be organized in your presentation and that only comes when you know what you're teaching."
