I Remember Woody

Even if you've heard of his aggressive antics on the field, or that he used to quote Ralph Waldo Emerson and Chairman Mao in the locker room, you still don't know Woody Hayes. The games and the press conferences only tell half of the story. I Remember Woody helps you to meet this extraordinarily complex and interesting man through the eyes and voices of those who knew him best: his players, coaches, opposing players and coaches, members of the media, family, friends and fans.

The book includes stories from a variety of sources: his wife, Anne Hayes; former players Rex Kern, Tom DeLeone, Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, Jim Otis and Randy Gradishar, among several others; former opponents Ahmad Rashad, Barry Switzer and Pat Haden: media members Keith Jackson, John Bansch and others; and friends Don Shula, Gil Brandt and Gerald Ford.
