High school players in a working class neighborhood of the 1970s gain desperately needed structure and guidance from Jack “Clyde” Dempsey, coach at Saint Don Bosco Technical High School in Boston. Dempsey was a scrappy, charismatic coach who seemed like nothing more than a football geek. But “Coach” also happened to be the toughest guy on the streets of Boston, with a temper to match, and it's his secret life as a mob enforcer/collector that forced him to flee the country, becoming one of America's most wanted. In this memoir, a devoted Dempsey disciple, who later becomes a dean at a world private school outside Boston, tries thirty-five years later to understand his former coach, role model, and mentor--both his good side and his very dark side--and Dempsey's impact on his own life.
