    When Gene Chizik was hired as the head football coach at Auburn in 2008, fans and analysts across the country were stunned."Two years later, Chizik would stun them again."With a 5-19 record in his first two years as a head coach, and facing a legion of skeptics, critics, and naysayers, Gene Chizik knew the odds were clearly not in his favor.Yet Gene never once flinched in the face of the criticism. Instead, he went straight to work, and in just two years, not only did he silence his critics, he earned their highest praise, leading Auburn to a 2010 national championship title and garnering the AP SEC Coach of the Year title and numerous national coach-of-the-year honors for himself along the way.In "ALL IN," Coach Chizik draws on more than twenty-five years of coaching experience--the good, the bad, and the ugly--to show readers how to make the best of even the worst situations and emerge victorious.From insights on issues such as ignoring the naysayers, transforming the atmosphere of an organization, and handling difficult situations with honor and integrity to lessons like learning from your mistakes, maximizing the potential of those around you, and earning the loyalty and respect of your peers, "ALL IN" provides a blueprint for achieving success. And even more significant, it illustrates the importance of listening to and following God's leading in your life--no matter how circuitous or fraught with difficulty the path might seem.
