I am also in. I have read a number of quality football books of recent vintage that might be worth considering, though unfortunately the only Michigan-related one is Three & Out, which I assume is not really a candidate. But a couple good ones are:
-- Blood, Sweat & Chalk by Tim Layden -- describes the evolution of football strategy, from the single-wing to the modern game. The first chapter is particularly interesting to Michigan fans because it discusses the single-wing attack led by Jeremy Gallon as a high school QB in Apopka, Fl.
-- Swing Your Sword by Mike Leach -- sort of a professional autobiography of Mike Leach that discusses how the Air Raid attack was invented and how he established himelf as a football coach. Also gives his side of the whole Craig James thing.
And here's a list of recommended football reading from SmartFootball.

I think Three and Out should be the only book on the list, and each time someone new finishes it, he should start a new thread.
