In 1985, in the aftermath of the boldest single decision any college football coach has ever made, Tom Osborne published an autobiography titled
More Than Winning. It is a book that somehow manages to be both brief and tedious, short on telling detail about his career as the head coach at Nebraska and long on religious platitudes and recountings of post-heart-surgery hospital enemas.
1 It is dedicated in part to the Creator and thanks the Lord in the acknowledgements, in case He didn't get the message the first time; in the opening paragraph of the foreword, Osborne admits that the publishing company contacted him about a project, and that he "had many reservations" about writing a book at all.
