First sentence: THE NOTRE DAME HEAD COACH had fought through failures before, but when he saw his team collapse this time, he knew there was no coming back from it.
Description: "When Tyrone Willingham stepped onto the field at Notre Dame, he faced challenges no coach of the storied Fighting Irish had ever confronted." "In Return to Glory, Alan Grant, a former player for Willingham at Stanford, takes readers inside Notre Dame's program as no one has seen it before. Given exclusive access to the players and coaching staff, he re-creates, week by week, the drama of a team playing above all expectations and the maneuvering of a master strategist facing the biggest challenge of his life."--Jacket.
