520    If necessity has been the mother of invention throughout 
       the history of professional football, it could also be 
       said that desperation is the father. 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.".
