New York Times best-selling, award-winning historian S. C. Gwynne says the incredible report of how Hal Mumme and Mike Leach - two anonymous instructors who revolutionized American football in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s - changed what sort of game is enjoyed at every level, from high school to the NFL. Hal Mumme is one of a handful of authentic offensive geniuses in the history of American football. In 2015 ESPN Journal, the country's leading sports magazine, called him the sole most influential football coach within the last quarter century. Mumme spent 14 mostly dropping seasons coaching football before inventing a potent passing criminal offense strategy that would revolutionize the game. That transformation commenced at a tiny college called Iowa Wesleyan, where Mumme was head coach and Mike Leach his assistant. It had been there that Mumme invented the purest & most extreme passing game in the 145-season history of football, where his quarterback once completed 61 of 86 passes (both national details). His teams enjoyed blazingly fast - faster than any team ever had before. They almost never punted over a fourth down and routinely beat teams with 10 or 20 times Iowa Wesleyan's students. Mumme achieved it all with average sports athletes and without a good playbook. In The Perfect Cross, S. C. Gwynne explores Mumme's genius and the stunning performance of his teams as well as his leading role in changing football from a run-dominated sport to a pass-dominated sport. He also stocks the history of an instant in American football when the game changed fundamentally and changed itself into what tens of an incredible number of Us citizens now watch on tv set every weekend. Whether you're a casual or ravenous football enthusiast, this is a truly compelling report of American ingenuity and innovation and what sort of set of cutting edge ideas made their way in to the mainstream of sports activities culture that we celebrate today.
