The Perfect Pass: American Genius and the Reinvention of Football

New York Times best-selling, award-winning historian S.

C.

Gwynne tells the incredible story of how Hal Mumme and Mike Leach - two unknown coaches who revolutionized American football in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s - changed the way the game is played at every level, from high school to the NFL.

Hal Mumme is one of a handful of authentic offensive geniuses in the history of American football.

In 2015 ESPN Magazine, the nation's leading sports magazine, called him the single most influential football coach in the last quarter century.

Mumme spent 14 mostly losing seasons coaching football before inventing a potent passing offense strategy that would revolutionize the game.
