The foreword of the book is done by Mike Logan, one of the greatest players Nehlen coached. The book, an autobiography of Nehlen's 21 years coaching at West Virginia, recalls from when Nehlen was being called to come in and interview for the head coaching position, to his final game as the head coach. The book also goes over Nehlen's coaching staff, greatest games, biggest disappointments, greatest players, team captains, and his two undefeated seasons. The book's final chapter covers Nehlen's induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.

    Of pleasure and of fear;

    By such a Youth, in the green shade,
    Were perilous to hear.
