Home Team: Coaching The Saints And New Orleans Back To Life (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Home team is written by New Orleans Saints' head coach and his 2006 Super Bowl winning season. When Peyton first took the job as head coach, he new he had a lot of work to do. With hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans hard, the city was just getting back on its feet and then to come in to coach your first team in the NFL while most people in the city are still without a home is not an easy task. Peyton knows he has a long road ahead of him if he wants to lead this team to a super bowl championship, little does he know, his dreams of this might just come true. He made it clear on the first day on the job that this season was going to be different and that they were no longer going to be a losing team. The way he worked with the players and the way he and his staff strategically made moves for the better of the team was truly amazing. He got the best out of every player, worked them the hardest they've ever worked before because he knew they could do it. They're hard work paid off. They went thirteen and three that season, ( wins and losses) because he saw the potential in the team even after all the players and their families have been through. Next thing you know they're playing in the NFC championship for the first time in franchise history. This is a great book for anyone who likes sports autobiographies or sports books. I rated this book four out of five stars because it is one of the best sports books I've ever read. After hurricane Katrina the city of New Orleans was devastated. They needed something to rally around and forget just for a moment that tragic hurricane. That's exactly what the saints brought to the table. This book tells the story of a quarter back coming out of college, and realizing that he isn't the greatest player. To then turning to becoming a coach. But it also tells the story about a city, reunited by its beloved Saints. Considered under dogs the saints marched into Super Bowl XLVI defeating the 14-2 Colts 31-17. To bring joy to the broken hearts of the people of New Orleans, and to forget for one moment, that tragic day.
