A PIECE OF GOLD FROM CHUCK (FORT) KNOX
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
HARD KNOX IS A BOOK BY FORMER NFL HEAD COACH CHUCK KNOX. HE REALLY MAKES THIS BOOK BOTH INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING. HIS INSIGHT AND EXPERIENCE AS A FOOTBALL COACH IN EVERY LEVEL POSSIBLE IS WELL WORTH THE READ FOR ALL FOOTBALL FANS. WHERE EVER (GROUND) CHUCK HAS GONE HE HAS BEEN A WINNER. FROM THE RAMS TO THE BILLS AND FINALLY THE SEAHAWKS HIS TEAMS HAVE MADE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THE ELUSIVE SUPER BOWL WAS NEVER REACHED. I CONSIDER CHUCK KNOX TO BE ONE THE MOST SUCESSFUL COACHES IN RECENT YEARS AND ENJOYED WATCHING HIS TEAMS PLAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ALL FOOTBALL FANS.

I really enjoyed this book, it was very interesting to get a behind the scenes look at a coach in the NFL. I think that Chuck Knox is one of the more interesting personalities in the game. I'm a Seahawk fan so I especially enjoyed it, but even if I wasn't I think I would still find it interesting.
Chuck Knox - winner in football and life....

Chuck Knox worked his way up from the poor steel towns of Western Pennsylvania to become a top coach in the NFL for over 20 years. Laced with interesting anecdotes and great humor throughout, this book not only shows that hard work and desire can lead to the top, it gives common sense advice on how to keep your head about you when you get there. For any fan of the pro game, but especially the Jets during the 60's, Rams during the 70's, or Bills or Seahawks during the 80's, this is a must read. All of your favorite players from Joe Namath to Brian Bosworth are covered. I would think that this book is almost required reading for any ambitious football coach, high school or otherwise. The wisdom and common sense approach Knox used in dealing with the multitude of personalities involved in team sports could apply to any level of athletics. Chuck Knox never won the Super Bowl as a head coach, but was always a winner- in football and in life.
