The Worst Season

By Gary D. Gerson

Gary Gerson found great success as head football coach at Crownlake, leading his academically-charged team to an unlikely undefeated regular season in 2004. Four short years later, he found himself out as coach, pushed aside by a wealthy and well-connected assistant. The administration was powerless to intervene since the survival of the school was at stake. Alma mater to a Heisman Trophy winner, a Pulitzer laureate, and many giants in technology and the arts, Republican Presidential candidate Mink Rodgers graduated from Crownlake in 1965. While much has changed over the last 50 years, the plight of Crownlake, and all private schools, remains in a fine balance between idealism and solvency. With football is a subtext, this book is about men who take what they want and the institutions that must tolerate them. This true story is Gerson's search for understanding.
