"Johnson's noteworthy book is a masterful combination of history, sportswriting, and biography rich in information not found elsewhere." -Booklist, Starred Review
A celebration of coaching great Robert Neyland.
Robert Neyland was not your typical college football coach. A graduate of West Point and veteran of both world wars, Neyland often played a dual role as an army officer and football coach, shifting seamlessly between the two professions. At the University of Tennessee, he ran his program like the army and amassed an impressive 173-31-12 record.
In Robert Neyland: The West Point Engineer Who Built Tennessee Football, Timothy D. Johnson provides deep insight into Neyland's life and incredible career. Featuring interviews with the only living former players from the Neyland era, and including new details from the Robert R. Neyland Family Papers, Johnson brings Neyland's story to life, revealing how Neyland's success resulted from his stern discipline and ability to put together consistently dominant defenses. It's a story that is sure to not only fascinate fans of Tennessee football, but sports and military historians, as well.
Timothy D. Johnson is the Elizabeth Gentry Brown Professor of History at Lipscomb University in Nashville where he has taught since 1991. He has written articles for journals, popular magazines, and encyclopedias, and has authored or edited eight previous books. Johnson has been a research fellow at the Virginia Historical Society as well as at Yale University, and has appeared on The History Channel, C-SPAN, and Public Television.
