Halberstam's worst
I've read several of his books (although this was my first sports book of his) and I highly enjoyed them. Maybe it's because the subject is just not a very interesting person, but this book is just terrible. He tells us material that contributes...

Puff Piece
I hate to pile on a fine author when the time has passed when he can redeem himself but I concur with all the negative reviews with one exception--I don't think the book's lack of appeal can be written off as due to the fact that Belichik is a...

enlightening insight into a man many love to hate
The book, admittedly, leaves a lot unsaid but then it is an unfinished story. After all the accusations,both accurtate and inaccurate,the book offers an insight into the man who has accomlished so much. Those who hate the team, hate the coach,love...

Portrait of Belichick the Coach, not Belichick the Man
"The Education of a Coach" is not only about how Bill Belichick came to win three super bowls in four years, but the people that helped shape his career along the way, notably his father Steve. The book talks about Steve's years as a coach and how...

The Focus is on Football and Coaching
"The Education of a Coach" ranks towards the top of the genre I call "sports profiles," because writer David Halberstam chose to focus on football and coaching, rather than on Bill Belichick's personal life.

Very Comprehensive
Once again, David Halberstam displays his gift for getting to the heart of the story. This book is a terrific--and rare--look into the life and work of a man, Bill Belichick, who has achieved remarkable success in a field known for its parity....

The Education of a coach
I know I bought this used so I did not expect the book to be perfect.

Decent but disappointing book
This is a solid book if you want to know the basic facts about the career of one of football's most brilliant but enigmatic coaches. That said, for the unique access to Belichick that Halberstam got, there's not much here that's particularly...

Outstanding
An excellent book that I'm grateful to have read. The beginning chapters on Belichick's father and his son's early development into a 'football geek' are esp. interesting. It's easy to see where his work ethic comes from, and how the greatest mind...
