In his first five seasons at the helm of the Minnesota Vikings, Dennis Green averaged 9.4 wins per year, made the playoffs four times, and won two NFC Central Division titles. The Dennis Green story represents the millions of untold stories of people who have been denied their full American rights but refused to give up. A beneficiary of The Great Society movement, he saw his athletic career cut short when he boycotted unjust football practices. History tells us he has been successful where few African-American men have ever gone. Green reveals what life is like breaking taboos, living on the edge, and crashing through glass ceilings.

Dennis Green isn't afraid to tell it like it is.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dennis Green: No Room for Crybabies (Hardcover)
No Room for Crybabies gives great insight to the coach of the Minnesota Vikings. This book shows that vision, combined with motivation, a person can achieve any goal they set. I'm truly impressed with Dennis Green.

This review is from: Dennis Green: No Room for Crybabies (Hardcover)
It took me a couple of years to find this book and was so glad when I found it that I bought 2 copies!!! Dennis lets the reader know not only his own pesonal history, but gives the reader an inside as to what happens behind the scene. A great book.

Slow moving, redundant, and written at a low reading level.,
By Spritzer8@worldnet.att.net (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dennis Green: No Room for Crybabies (Hardcover)
The people that weren't lucky enough to locate a copy of this book were the truely lucky ones. It was slow moving and repetitive. When I finished reading the book I was just glad to be done and felt like I had wasted a few hours. There wasn't any real insight into what it was like to grow up Dennis Green or what it was like to be a college coach or professional coach. Anyone who is thinking of reading this book to learn about what is like to be a player or coach in college or the NFL will be disappointed. Read Tim Green's book instead, it was much better!
