Through his unprecedented access to Ara Parseghian's personal files, author Mark O. Hubbard explores the coach's innovative philosophy, organization, strategy, tactics, and motivational techniques with details to satisfy even the most knowledgeable football aficionado. Hubbard chronicles Ara's childhood and Catholic upbringing, his success as a football player, and the development of his coaching credentials at Miami of Ohio and Northwestern before delving into his sensational career at the University of Notre Dame. From the moment Ara arrived on campus, the student body and the players were electrified, and Ara's first season concluded with a dramatic reversal of the Fighting Irish's fortunes as they competed for the national title. The Hall of Famer remains one of the most successful football coaches in Notre Dame history, amassing a career record of 95-17-4 and leading the Fighting Irish to undisputed national championships in 1966 and 1973.
