I understand much better now about what an agent actually does for a client and what unique skills and talents a prospective NFL head coach must possess.

The book has a great premise, but the writing manages to ruin it. I wish LaMonte, who is a great agent, would have gotten a good writer to tell his and his clients' stories.

I would recommend this book to anyone. You don't even really have to know about football. It gives you life lessons, as well as football lessons, and business lessons. These lessons are told by Bob LaMonte and the five head coaches he represents. These coaches include Mike Holmgren, John Grueden, John Fox, Andy Reid, and Mike Sherman. Unlike many other authors, Bob LaMonte has been up close and personal with these coaches. In order to represent them as an agent he must know them very well. All of these coaches have started in a low profile job environment. In fact three of them had never even had a head coaching job at a high school. In order to go big you must start small. People who have a small job focus on there goals and when they become successful they set their sights one step higher.
