What a fun book this is. I'm new to Majors work, but this one made me want to go and read all of his other novels. He offers a very funny satire of college football life. But the games don't take center stage here. What does is an out-of-season "cavalcade" in which the coaches go on tour to raise money and meet with the team's boosters and hard-core fans. The main protagonist is coach Raymond Love, an earnest graduate of a Division III school, who's now working as a post-graduate assistant at a big-time division one school under a flamboyant, self-absorbed coach. Love is hoping to get a full-time coaching job with the team, but his main competition for the job is another smooth-talking graduate assistant who is a master at sucking-up. During the calvalcade, Love is given one important task -- keeping the wild, hard-drinking and hard-living defensive coordinator out of trouble. There are lots of fun escapades as Love fails miserably at that assignment. The obsessed fans and boosters go under the satirists' knife as much as the coaching staff does. The novel offers a series of exceprts from fan chat rooms, and those sections are hysterically funny and a dead-on portrait of the silliness of the debates you see in comment sections on Web sites. Love also has a couple of love interests -- a cute smart-aleck peer in the sports management department, who seems to be out of bounds because she has a long-distance fiance and another, gorgeous woman whom Love eventually learns is the athletic director's daughter. She strings him along by asking him to become a member of her book club - a not very macho thing to do that none of his football peers can understand. In the club, she forces him to read books similar to Eat, Pray, Love, and Majors does another great job at poking fun of the absurdity of these books in which sex, food, travel and spirtuality all get mixed up. As a bonus, the back section of the book offers a reading guide that is a terrific send-up of these guides and the discussions people have at book club meetings. Strong characters and a humorous portrayal of a world that takes itself more seriously than it should make this a very entertaining read.

Raymond Love, son of a high school football coach, aspires to coach at the college level, and he's got his foot on the lowest possible rung at an SEC school: He is a non-coaching graduate assistant, one tantalizing rung away from being a coaching graduate assistant. Love's Winning Plays takes place during the off-season as Love participates in the Pigskin Cavalcade, joining other coaches from his school--and chaperoning one loose cannon coach in particular--as they schmooze and inspire their way through smallish southern towns and their boosters and fans and newspaper writers and discussion-group Wizards, all desperate for a whiff of big-time college football and maybe the chance to teach the head coach a more effective goal-line offense. Love is still soaking wet behind the ears, and we learn about this culture as he learns about this culture in all its horrifying and hilarious glory. I laughed on every page.

A great book for anyone who loves college football and wants a fun look at the dance between athletic departments and boosters. The only detraction was the decision not to use quote marks to set off conversations. It was a wonderful commentary on the business and politics of college football versus the love of the game and the loyalty to a team. Additionally, I found the descriptions of the book club and it's chosen books to be hilarious. All-in-all, a thoroughly enjoyable book that doesn't
take itself too seriously.

As a girl from the South who loves college football, specifically SEC football, I really wanted to love this book about a young man trying to start his coaching career at a Division I school, but I was so distracted by the absence of proper punctuation that I can't give this work more than 2 stars. Mr. Majors may think that his laid-back style excuses him from conventional grammar, but a book that is filled with dialogue and lacks a single quotation mark is unacceptable in my opinion.
Despite the exclusion of quotation marks, Majors delivers a comical inside look into the - sometimes ugly - world of elite college football programs. Title character Raymond Love is invited to attend the annual "Pigskin Cavalcade" where the coaching staff tours cities in the region rubbing shoulders with the university's boosters to cultivate the school's relationships with its important donors. On the Cavalcade he learns a great deal about the life of a coach and about himself. By following this tour, the reader also gets a glimpse of a coach's responsibilities beyond the game and how politics and personalities often factor into the career of a coach as much as knowledge of the sport and effectiveness in the locker room and on the field. As a fundraiser familiar with stewarding major donors, I appreciated Majors's truthful account of this side of public relations.
"Love's Winning Plays" is a comedy that resembles truth closely enough that it is hard not to take it seriously. If accepted punctuation had been in place, I know I would have enjoyed it more and been able to read it more casually rather than critically.

"Coach" raymond Love (More of a "gofer" than anything) is a grad assistant for an SEC football team. It's off season and the coaching staff is going from town to town meeting alumni pep clubs and talking up the program. Love is in charge of head defensive coach Woody, kind of an old, hairy guy beloved by all who has a mind of his own about when and where to show up for events.
This is a rollicking, fun read all the way. Not a serious sentence (well, maybe one or two) in the whole story. You love Woody and Love, who the head coach always calls Lowe, he's so far down the totem pole as to be almost invisible to the coach. There's a love interest of sorts, but Love is awfully shy and it's a long haul to get the girl.
At the end of the novel there are "discussion questions" for a book group that are completely bogus and just adds to the fun of the book in general. Please don't even think about being Einstein when you pick up this book. have a fun ride with the characters.

Interesting, fun read.

Having a husband who worked in college football, this was spot on. Since Inman Majors' dad is Johnny Majors, he would certainly know. I laughed a lot, in a sad sort of way.

This novel is so sunny and droll! Who could resist it? it resembles a comedian del'arte play, with the stock comic characters. The head coach, bombastic and pushy. the aging assistant coach, old school and loyal. The young graduate assistant, wanting the job and the girl, but unlikely to get either. The athletic director's daughter, bikini-clad, flirty, but playing way too many games.
So many of us are so devoted to college football, ignoring the big money, the corruption. We see it as a game, but this novel reminds us that it is also a real world. But it does so in such a funny way.
Congrats to Inman Majors for writing such a fresh take on the male coming of age bit. Fine, you could call this a "minor work." But it is beautifully done, and will bring a smile.

My library branch (the most excellent Kenton Library) had a "blind date with a book" display and I took this one home mostly because the two hearts on it said "Romance" and "College Football." Intrigued, I tore open the wrapping and dove into a very funny tale of a Graduate Assistant Football Coach at a big football-centric state school in the south. It did indeed provide me with both romance and college football and also enough laughs that I disturbed the boyfriend while he was taking a GRE practice test.

Enjoyable book especially for recovering college football fanatics. At first as you read through the book you think maybe he is over selling the lunacy of some of the fans of college football, but if you are an alumnus or a fan of a SEC conference school you begin transposing images in your mind of some of the wackos you have encountered over the years. A lot of fun to read. You will catch yourself laughing out loud. A great read as the weather begins to cool and college football passions in the South start to heat up for the season.

I love this book.
It's a short send-up of Book Club books and its about SEC football. A grad student assistant is traveling with the coaches on a meet and greet Pigskin Cavalcade with the boosters. We've got internet football chat room, a foodie book club, coaches, drinking, boosters, romance, "gumption" and obnoxious other coaches.
Good stuff.
Don't forget to check out the Book Club Questions at the back. Hilarious.

This was thoroughly enjoyable. It had great insight to the crazy world of college football. The characters were rich and realistic. I loved it.
January 9, 2013
With the college football season just concluded, this was an especially fun read. It's not terribly deep, but it does have a lot to say about honesty, loyalty, and integrity--qualities that sometimes seem to be in short supply in college sports. But you don't have to be a football fan to read this book; anyone will enjoy the story of Graduate Assistant Coach Raymond Love as he navigates the worlds of graduate school, college athletics, and romance.
February 22, 2013
Good fun read for anyone who is fan of college football. Especially SEC football. Being a serious SEC football fan, I know I need to take a break and smile at some of it all. Enjoyed this book which pokes fun, but never insults.
August 6, 2013
A comical look at SEC football and how insane it can become. It also had good characters you either loved or annoyed you just like a good book should. Quick read and a good read, especially for college football fans
November 4, 2012
Read this in one day...a perfect SEC football Saturday. It was fun and enjoyable. Go DAWGS!!
June 24, 2013
great characters and a very funny book. Majors depiction of football message board heroes is spot on.
August 11, 2018
I listened to this just as players put on pads. It was a fun book written by a local "boy". Got me into the spirit with a few laughs at how seriously we take football in SEC country. Loved Coach Woody and other colorful characters.

This book was just OK. Good Coronavirus read I guess. Basic plot but nothing really happened. Quick read though

Raymond Love, a low level graduate assistant for a non-descript SEC college football team, has been assigned to “babysit” Coach Woody – the longtime defensive line coach who is known to go “rogue” on occasion – while on a caravan across the non-descript southern state, to meet boosters and discuss the upcoming football season.
Love’s Winning Plays, by Inman Majors, is a novel full of stereotypes and clichés about the world of college football:
• Love and Sparkman – GA’s one a buffoon (Sparkman) – one a coach’s kid, who has potential, but no connections (Love).
• CVD or Head Coach Von Driver – figure head of the football team, who doesn’t know his staff.
• Coach Woody – obnoxious, beer-drinking, Dick Butkus-type, oldtimer, relives his playing days thru old film and stories.
• Head Coach’s wife – southern belle socialite, with a penchant for cocktails and a sharp tongue.
• Gorgeous co-ed, Brooke, who happens to be the daughter of the Athletic Director
• Athletic Director: more concerned about the appearance of the football team than the integrity of the football team
• Sports writer: emasculated male, who at one point wanted to be an athlete, but was either too small, or not good enough, so he has to write about it instead.
• Boosters/fans: think they now it all, but not really.
• Rich boosters: think they can buy access and wins.
I love college football – I am a coach’s daughter, after all. And even though characters like the above exist (stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason) – I thought it was an empty, shallow, one dimensional football and love story.

I'm not particularly into football, but I still managed to enjoy this book anyway. That's because this really isn't a novel about football, but a novel about people who play or are involved with football. Some of the characters feel a bit stereotypical at times, but admittedly, that is their job, this book is a satire aimed at the college football industry, particularly the SEC. Majors even works in a couple digs at the modern publishing industry as well while he's at it.
I was only going to give it three stars for the predictability and stereotypes, but then I remembered the "discussion questions" in the back and gave it a fourth star for those. They earned it.

***I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway***
This book takes a clever spin on college football and one young GA's journey through the system. The book was the account of a young man as he encountered the various power struggles within the system, and handling all the various relationships. The book was nice but lacks quotations which can make following conversation paths difficult. The book is written so that both men and women can enjoy the story. Overall, the book was enjoyable and will make you laugh in several areas.

Almost a four star from me, Inman Major's novel is a short, fast-paced and lightly satirical look at the trials and tribulations of college football coaches in this modern era of power hungry boosters and message board zealotry. Major's novel had me chuckling quite bit in the early bits but it just couldn't maintain the comic energy level throughout the book. It is about time someone took the big business world of college football to task and the SEC setting of LOVE'S WINNING PLAYS gives Majors plenty of things to write about.
March 3, 2016
This book was an excellent book if your into football and learning how a guy that basically is in the lowest rank of a coach can excel into a great coach that wins championships. In the book it tells how a guy named love goes through the low ranks of a coach taking care of other coaches and taking them places to designing plays that help his team do wonders on the field and help win every game. If i could read this again I would for the fact that not only do I love this book but i love football.

This is a Goodreads First Read review.
This is a fun look at a young grad assistant’s life at a university, and having to deal with other assistants, coaches, boosters, and overeager fans. Although not a big part of the novel, it definitely helps to be a football fan to understand all of the jargon. There is one thing this book needed; quotation marks, because after a while it became hard to tell who was talking.

Very funny--I particularly enjoyed the skewering of "Eat, Pray, Love" and book-group discussion guides. This starts out as something like "The Devil Wears Prada" set in the world of SEC football. The plot is predictable, but there are good laugh-out-loud moments. The targets are obnoxious sports boosters, affected sports writers, and anyone who fist-bumps. 3.5 stars.
December 28, 2012
Chilled out holiday don't-think-too-hard-enjoy-the-Southern-weirdos read. The actual plot is a bit too pat, but it's more about hanging out in the culture of boosterism and obsession that is the SEC. Don't expect big words, introspection, sad endings. Do expect a screen treatment.

Interesting commentary on college football at least in the SEC. Light reading. No real social content. but it may reflect the attitude and actions of diehard football fans or fanatics.
January 4, 2013
A short, fun little read that had me laughing aloud in some places.
One big criticism, however, is the lack of quotation marks for dialogue. An affected post-modern ploy. Blech!
