Inman Majors' "Winning Plays"

A lowly graduate assistant on the staff of an SEC football team is trying to figure out where he fits in, both on and off the field. He joins a book club to impress women, he carries the load of his coaching staff and he puts up with the menial tasks he's assigned in order to beat out a competitor for a plum coaching slot that's just opened up. And that's just the beginning of  Winning Plays, a new comedic novel from writer and Tennessee native Inman Majors.  On  October 18, 2012,  Majors joined WUOT's All Things Considered host  Brandon Hollingsworth to talk about the book, fiction aimed at a male audience, and his thoughts on the state of college football.
