Rare are the football innovations that have occurred without an owner, general manager, coach, or player up against the wall and reaching for a way to succeed anyway. In this meticulously researched, lively book, Bleacher Report lead NFL scout Doug Farrar traces the schematic history of the pro game through these if this/then that" moments -- paradigm shifts in the game from 1920 through the present. More than just a book about schemes and strategies, The Genius of Desperation: The Schematic Innovations that Made the Modern NFL also tells the stories of the game's most prominent innovators, the adversities they endured, and the ways in which they learned to exceed their own expectations on the path to true greatness. Everyone from George Halas to Greasy Neale, Paul Brown to Sid Gillman, Bill Walsh to Chip Kelly is featured, as well as many more.". 588 0 Print version record. 610 20 National Football League|xHistory. 650 0 Football|xOffense. 650 0 Football|xDefense. 650 0 Football|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION / Football.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Riddick, Louis. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFarrar, Doug (Football writer)|tGenius of desperation.|dChicago, Illinois : Triumph Books LLC, [2018]|z9781629375793|w(DLC)2018016981 914 frd00026342
