Bob Sullivan coached Minnesota high school and college football for an astonishing sixty years. At the prep level, he won conference championships and state titles. He is the winningest coach in Carleton College football history. He is a member of multiple halls of fame and the field at venerable Laird Stadium at Carleton is named in his honor. His players, more than one thousand of them over three generations, know him simply as “Sully.”
In Sully, author and former player Jeff Appelquist takes us from the Coach’s humble beginnings in Marshall, Minnesota through his long, eventful life’s journey to gridiron glory and beyond. This epic biography celebrates the grand sweep of an excellent life well-lived.
