Great to read about the days when the 49ers would actually win Super Bowls. A legend and a genius

[David Reed · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved reading this. The insights. The hand-drawn play diagrams. While it gets a little dry at times, it's still a fabulous read for any Niner fan.

Like Machiavelli's The Prince for the football set.

One of the best leadership books I've ever read.
