All in

Gene Chizik traces a fast and turbulent stretch of his coaching life. He began as head coach of the Iowa State Cyclones, where his first two seasons produced a 5-19 record and much public criticism. Soon after, he was hired by Auburn, a move that also drew heavy doubt. Within a short time he led the Tigers to an undefeated season and the 2010 national championship, and was named AP SEC Coach of the Year.

In this account, Chizik describes his exit from Iowa State, the controversy around his Auburn appointment, and the championship run that followed. He also recounts the setbacks, sudden turns, personal losses and victories he met along the way, sharing details he has not told publicly before.

Throughout the book he explains how his Christian faith has shaped his decisions and his career. He also offers the principles he has relied on to succeed, both on the field and in everyday life.
