Pursuit of Perfection is the first-ever biography of this National Championship coach. Gilmour Dobie takes his place alongside the greatest names in football such as Knute Rockne, John Heisman, and Glenn "Pop" Warner. He coached at the very birth of the modern game - an innovator who emphasized the running game and physical conditioning long before it became standard practice. This book traces his life from his bleak existence as an orphan to the heights of his career as holder of the longest undefeated streak in NCAA history.
