Out of the Pocket Book Reviews
Out of the Pocket by Kirk Herbstreit Book Summary
This powerfully intimate, plain-spoken memoir about fathers and sons, fortitude, and football from the face and voice of college football—Kirk Herbstreit—is not just “a window into the game, but also a peek into what makes him special: his heart” (David Shaw, head coach, Stanford University).
Kirk Herbstreit is a reflection of the sport he loves, a reflection of his football-crazed home state of Ohio, where he was a high school star and Ohio State captain, and a reflection of another Ohio State football captain thirty-two years earlier: his dad Jim, who battled Alzheimer’s disease until his death in 2016.
In Out of the Pocket, Herbstreit does what his father did for him: takes you inside the locker rooms, to the practice fields, to the meeting rooms, to the stadiums. Herbstreit describes how a combination of hard work, perseverance, and a little luck landed him on the set of ESPN’s iconic College GameDay show, surrounded by tens of thousands of fans who treat their Saturdays like a football Mardi Gras.
He takes you into the television production meetings, on to the GameDay set, and into the broadcast booth. You’ll live his life during a football season, see the things he sees, experience every chaotic twist and turn as the year unfolds. Not to mention the relationships he’s established and the insights he’s learned from the likes of coaches and players such as Nick Saban, Tim Tebow, Dabo Swinney, and Peyton Manning, as well as his colleagues, including Chris Fowler, Rece Davis, and his “second dad,” the beloved Coach Lee Corso.
Yes, Kirk Herbstreit is the undeniable face and voice of college football—but he’s also a survivor. He’s the quiet kid who withstood the collapse of his parents’ marriage. The boy who endured too many overbearing stepdads and stepmoms. The painfully shy student who always chose the last desk in the last row of the classroom. The young man who persevered through a frustrating Ohio State playing career. The new college graduate who turned down a lucrative sales job after college to pursue a “no way you’ll make it” dream career in broadcasting.
Inspiring and powerful, Out of the Pocket “proves the importance of perseverance and family” (Peyton Manning).

Thought it would be good, it was great!. My wife has watched GameDay with me for going on five years now. I was giving her updates as I read the book, and she was genuinely interested. This book is about so much more than football. It was a joy to read. On the football side, from someone who has watched GameDay from its beginnings in the 1990s, back when I was a kid in rural North Dakota, to hear the behind the scenes stories, was page turning as well. Thanks for sharing, Kirk!
Very entertaining Read. It is great to hear the story of a person you only know from television. This is a personal story full of information about life.
Surprised. In my opinion the book was good but failed to live up to the publisher’s description as I thought it devoted many more pages to reliving Ohio State football games and the birth of Gameday which was interesting. Regardless, I didn’t see the need to criticize the fans of Michigan, Tennessee and Miami football. He should have at least treated them the same as he did his beloved OSU fans.
Loved this!. Great read! Reminded me of things I went through with my Dad being a coach!
