With over 1,000 victories between them, these coaches represented the best in college football. Paterno, Bowden, Holtz, and Spurrier share their stories with Firestone in interviews from the 1990s.

Highlighting this program is a 1997 roundtable Firestone held with Williams, Jackson, Schmidt, Banks, and Robinson before a live audience.

When you think of Billy Martin, you think of a raw baseball player. Martin shares stories such as the time he was traded from the Yankees. When you think fo Mickey Mantle, you think of injured superstar. Mickey tells how a ""Dr. Feelgood"" kept him from tying Babe Ruth's old home run record. When you think of Reggie Jackson, you think of Mr. October. He speaks for himself. When you think of Yogi Berra, you think of one of the great characters in all of baseball. Firestone has a list of odd sentences, but Yogi didn't really say all of them. When you think of George Steinbrenner, you think of a flawed Boss. In the same room where he would give interviews for SportsCentury, George talks of the mistakes, the relationships with people, and the lessons he and others learned over a quarter-century of George's reign.

From interviews taken between 1987 and 1996 inclusive, Roy Firestone displays the coaching coolness and human side of Tom Landry.

For the NHL, Gretzky represented superhuman ability and class. Roy Firestone's interviews from 1981 to 1999 reveal all sides of Gretzky, replete with superstitions and reflections of his super talent.

Interviews from 1992, 1996, and 1997 reveal Rick Pitino as the driven coach, a latchkey kid for whom basketball was an aid to growing up.
