Sid Gillman, unlike so many of his coaching colleagues, never wrote a book about himself. He never published his own ideas about the game and why he thought passing the ball in an age where most quarterbacks handed off to running backs was the key to his success. In more than four decades of coaching, nobody thought it necessary to tell the definitive Sid Gillman story. Until now.

Gillman was a true innovator. The kind of football genius that goes overlooked by today's average fan, but who will never be forgotten by the coaches he directly - and indirectly - impacted. What NFL fans watch today in ever-increasing numbers (and the high-flying offenses those fans love) can be directly traced back to the Midwestern coach who was a forerunner to the West Coast offense. That's why if you watched the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, you could see the scope of Gillman's reach. In order to truly understand the reason why football offenses are so exciting today, learning about Gillman is absolutely essential. Katzowitz takes you on that journey.

Josh Katzowitz covers the NFL for CBSSports.com and is a featured contributor for Manofthehouse.com. He's worked most of his career as a sports writer, including positions with the now-defunct "Cincinnati Post" and the Augusta (Ga.) "Chronicle." As a freelance writer, Katzowitz has written for "The New York Times, " the "Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, " and a variety of other newspapers, magazines, and national websites. In August 2009, he released his first book, "Bearcats Rising." He lives with his wife and their twins in Austin, TX.
