It takes tremendous perseverance to accomplish your goals. Kirk's hard work and dedication to his craft, along with his class and professionalism, has enabled him to become one of the most trusted analysts in college football. Herbie is a great friend who has been an equally terrific mentor to me personally, relative to media relations. His career and life are a perfect example of what happens when you don't let others define you or what you can achieve.”—Nick Saban, Head Coach, University of Alabama
“Kirk and I come from football families. I always knew about his love and knowledge of the game. But now I know the story behind that love of football. Once again, it proves the importance of perseverance and family.''—Peyton Manning, member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and College Football Hall of Fame
“One of my favorite things about Kirk is that every time we speak, we talk about football AND our families. Our dads were both assistant coaches and he and I were taught a lot of the same lessons. Kirk's book is a window into the game, but also a peek into what makes him special: his heart.''—David Shaw, Head Coach, Stanford University
“Herbstreit’s story here is deeply personal—absent father, impoverishment, conflicts with fellow broadcasters—while also sharing enough insights into the college game, and into the broadcasting world, to gladden the heart of any college-football geek.” —Booklist
“A pleasantly self-effacing, immersive look at both sports and sportscasting.”—Kirkus
"What Out of the Pocket delivers is uncommon honesty. " —Patriot-News
