Reeves: An Autobiography

Dan Reeves is one of the top coaches in the American National Football League. Here is his story. The story of a farm boy from Georgia and his colourful climb in the NFL. We tend to think of coaches as martinets with whistles around their necks. Reeves shows us a different side, one filled with warmth, humour, and sometimes, great compassion. Like the man, this book is direct, unpretentious, and a winner.

Reeves, former player and coach for the Dallas Cowboys, now coaches the Denver Broncos, so this book should find an audience in Texas and Colorado. Aided by sports columnist Connor of the Rocky Mountain News , he covers his days as a college and pro player, including the knee injury that cut short his playing career. This material is less interesting and revealing than the chapters on coaching, with insights into how a coaching staff works, interplay of personalities and, most significantly, the tone that is set by the head coach. Reeves was involved with losing Super Bowl teams in Dallas, but in the past two seasons he suffered serious defeat when the Broncos dropped two championship games, a subject on which he is candid and forthright here.
