Fierce look at immortality
Truly the Old Man is one of the great fictional sports figures.We see a guy clinging to his image with all fingernails.What other film shows a man delighted to get cancer for it will force his enemies to retreat?I'dplace the Old Man up there with Elmer Gantry and Andy Griffith in A Face Inthe Crowd as great Southern figures.The book never backs off and pays offroyally.

Thanks, John Ed, for not taking the easy route...
It would have been simple for the author to take the easy, obvious route here, telling a straight-ahead story about a washed-up football coach on his last legs who wins the big game at the end and everything ends happilyever after.Instead, he turned it into a funny, insightful tale that workson so many levels and rings totally true.It is NOT a football book!It'sa story with fascinating characters (go deeper than what might appear to bestereotypes at first read) and so much local color it almost reads like amovie script.I've enjoyed Bradley's work in Esquire and SI and I'm glad Ifound this book.

One of The Best Page-Turners Ever
The BEST find in recent years.I found this book at a discount store which sold over-runs.The title caught my interest, and the dust jacket synopsis sold me.I covered the 336 pages in only 2 days.

John EdBradley has done a fantastic job of bringing very complex and interestingcharacters to life.His writing is so fresh and visual.Mr. Bradley'sstyle is very unique and wonderful to read.

This is a "mustread" for any football fan.But it's more than a football story. Actually, very little occurs on the field.John Ed provides a very humanlook into a man who is larger than life and seems willed toself-destruction.It is an excellent character study with elements ofdrama and comedy which manages to hold your attention andfascination.

The Southern tones and dialogue add a rich texture toCoach's story.It is very a bittersweet story that you will not forget forsome time.

Sad and Bittersweet!
When I was an underclassmen at LSU, I loved watching John Ed Bradley and the rest of his teammates play football on Saturday Nights in Tiger Stadium. Bradley, a second-team All-SEC Center excelled in classroom aswell as on the football field. When I heard he was a published author, Iwas anxious to read one of his books.

THE BEST THERE EVER WAS is abittersweet story of Harold (Hardhead) Gravely, an aging head footballcoach from a major college (that happens to be located in SouthLouisiana)who is on the verge of being fired. His teams have seen betterdays and despite winning a National Championship eons ago, the college gamehas passed him by. While rumors of his dismissal begin to surface, Haroldlearns he has cancer, and he decides to use it to his advantage and go outa winner. Unfortunately for Harold, he goes out a loser and so does thisbook.

LSU Fans will like this book because of the familiarity of thecharacters and the setting. John Ed Bradley is a good writer, but next timeI hope he writes about something a little more upbeat. ... Read more
