Is this book for real or someone just trying to make a few bucks off the hype this week?

Yeah John Talty has been trickling out hit piece after hit piece the past few weeks trying to stir shite up.

It's real, I love reading sports books, so got it on Kindle. I'm about 75 pages in... Nothing really rather shattering, basically just complaining that Lane only got jobs because of his dad, didn't have respect of players as groups, but when he got one on one with players they could understand that he really knew the game.
For the quotes he uses old players who mostly had good things to say about LK knowledge and football mind, but complained about his social awkwardness and approach to people.
I just started the chapter where Bush goes to USC so I'm sure some of the hit piece stuff will start to trickle in soon
Honestly it feels like a high school essay, it's not great. I'll update, I feel like if there was anything earth shattering that was verified though it would have blown up on Twitter already.

Most interesting part to me so far:

That December before the title game, Ole Miss decided it wanted to hire a USC assistant as its next head coach. It settled on the energetic Ed Orgeron, who convinced Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat to get in a three-point stance with him in a wild job interview that somehow worked. Before Ole Miss went all-in on Orgeron, though, it asked Carroll about Monte Kiffin’s son. The USC head coach told the Ole Miss officials Lane was his best coach on Saturdays and his worst Sunday through Friday. They went with Orgeron.

Lacey Pearl Earps, a pretty blonde from outside Nashville, was Lane’s secret weapon. He put her on number one overall recruit Bryce Brown, and on the talented running back’s official visit they went out for ice cream, watched the movie Taken, and took in a men’s basketball game. When Brown decided to come back a few weeks later for another visit, he told Lane all he wanted to do was hang out with Lacey.
quote:
After one of Brown’s first practices with the team, Lane showed a photo of Brown carelessly holding on to a football, taken during practice. “When you carry the football like this, this is what you get,” Lane told the team. A photo of Earps popped up. “If you carry it like this . . .” Lane began, as a photo of Reggie Bush popped up on the screen. The photo, taken during USC’s title game, showed Bush in perfect form, holding the football high and tight. “You get this,” Lane said as a photo of Kim Kardashian, Bush’s girlfriend at the time, was unveiled.

John Talty interviewed me during the 2019 championship season. LINK
I can pass on any special messages you have for him, if you like.

Lane didn’t care about what happened before he got there. His players told him how badly they wanted black jerseys for that South Carolina game, and he was committed to making it a reality. He pushed and pushed Hamilton to let his team wear the black jerseys. Hamilton was resistant, believing they wouldn’t go over well with certain segments of the fan base. Hamilton changed his mind only when All-American safety Eric Berry and star running back Montario Hardesty came to his office that Wednesday to make a personal pitch for black jerseys for that weekend.
Once Hamilton gave the OK, the school used a local company to make them in time for Saturday’s game. But the players weren’t told yet. In a team meeting the night before the game, Lane built up the tension. He said his bosses didn’t want the team to have black jerseys. But then, wearing his traditional Tennessee warm-ups zipped to the top, Lane told Berry to come to the front of the room. “When Eric unzipped his jacket, the entire room exploded,” says Cannon. “Chairs were going up in the air.”
The team warmed up in its traditional orange jerseys, setting up the big reveal for fans only when the team ran onto the field. And thus, on Halloween night, the Tennessee Volunteers ran onto Neyland Stadium’s field in black jerseys for the first time in program history. The crowd went wild when they realized what had happened.
