Frank Leahy
I just finished American Coach.
Beyond the career and family story (thanks Fred), what I took away most from the book was a feeling that the foundation of Notre Dame football, as we know it today, was built by Frank.
If he wasn't handicapped by Hesburgh, he would have won several more national titles.

My own impression is that like too many coaches, Frank paid a high personal price for his success.
Onn the other hand, I was a classmate of his son Jim (and attended his wedding) and he was a great guy.
I knew Fred but only casually.
