Description
The New York Times bestseller that's "heaven in hardcover" (New Orleans Times-Picayune) for Saints fans.
In the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, no symbol of disaster was more potent than New Orleans' Superdome: it became a horrific shelter of last resort where the utterly desperate rode out the storm.
Four years later, in that very stadium, the New Orleans Saints won the NFC championship and earned their first-ever trip to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the favored Indianapolis Colts 31-17.
This is the inspirational true story of a city recovering from disaster and a team with a history of heartbreak, as seen through the eyes of the coach who would help elevate them both to long- forgotten greatness.
Customer Reviews
Fun read!
There aren't many revelations, but a nice peek inside the 4 years that payton has coached. Many of the controversies between payton and the media are not addressed. He pays a lot of tribute to his mentor, bill parcels. Think it's time to move on and become the coach that will eclipse parcels. This is the first of series of books on the saints. Drew brees is next!
Top notch read
A great and entertaining book. Payton is amazingly candid and there is some real eye opening revelations here. A must read for any Saints fan and still highly recommended to all football fans in general.
Amazing Book
This is an awesome read. It's inspiring, interesting, and really accomplishes its goal. I really feel like I was at a bar with Coach Payton as he told me his story.
