A Damn Good Yankee

About the Book

The beginning of the University of Alabama’s rise to one of the all-time winningest programs in the history of college football started with a diminuative sportswriter from Cleveland, Ohio named Xen C. Scott.  In the Fall of 1919 he went south to start a seasonal job as head football coach at  Alabama.  During his four season tenure, he laid the foundation that would transform the school’s football program from a moderately successful regional program to one of the greatest programs in the country. Because of his contributions to the rise of Alabama Crimson Tide football, Scott will always be remembered as a damn good Yankee.

About the Author

Gregory Kordic is a fairly good Yankee with no credentials that would qualify him to write this book other than a genuine respect for the people of Alabama and their unmatched passion for Alabama football.
