Over his illustrious career, he's worked for the Dallas Morning News, Newsday, Sports Illustrated and ESPN and others. Maisel is also the author of "American Coach: The Triumph and Tragedy of Notre Dame Legend Frank Leahy," which was released on Sept. 16.
The book explores the often forgotten legacy of Leahy, who led the Fighting Irish to six undefeated seasons and four national championships in an 11-season span.
Still, he lacks the recognition of the Notre Dame championship-winning coaches who came before and after him, like Knute Rockne and Ara Parseghian.
The conversation spent a great deal of our time exploring Leahy's life and career. The podcast also delves into what it took to conduct research for the book, the access Notre Dame provided, and how that process has changed his perception of Notre Dame.
