From the Publisher:

Mack Brown: One Heartbeat II chronicles some of the life and times of Mack Brown in his journey from Cookeville, Tennessee - where as a child he rode the team bus with the high school football teams his grandfather coached - to Austin, Texas, where today he is head football coach of The University of Texas Longhorns.

Poignantly crafted with award-winning writer Bill Little, Mack Brown: One Heartbeat II is an anthology of pieces from the heart; thoughts and stories from Brown, who, in following his dream of coaching, has built winning football programs everywhere he's coached. Brown's commitment to win championships with nice kids who graduate is woven throughout the book and the reader is shown clearly why this commitment is important to Brown and how he accomplishes this goal.

Each chapter opens with a photograph depicting a person or an experience that has helped shape Mack Brown's life, values, and philosophy. As Darrell Royal, University of Texas football coaching legend, writes in the foreword, .... parts of the book are touching and.... parts ..... have just common-sense advice for anybody. This book is for the young and the old, the teacher and the high school coach, the mom and the dad, the players who've made it on the field and those who want to.

This book is not only for football fans. Successful businessman Red McCombs who is the owner of the Minnesota Vikings, writes in the preface that ...... every chapter contains principles...... as significant to the executive as it is to the young coach.

Mack Brown's personal guide to successful coaching entitled Developing a Top Ten Program is included as an appendix in concise outline form and will prove to be an invaluable tool to new coaches and veteran coaches alike.

Mack Brown was recently named American Football Coaches Association Regional Coach of the Year for 2005.
