He came to Notre Dame as the high school coach from Cincinnati's Moeller High School, such a perfect fit for Notre Dame that it seemed almost too good to be true. It was.

He explains how he could beat Southern Cal, but not Air Force and Purdue. An optimist to the end, Faust took on, if anything, an even greater challenge when he left Notre Dame.

PrologueIn the summer of 1950, thirty-six miles off the coast of Galveston, TX, N 29º 2' 42.774" W 94º 21' 2.1096", to be precise--there was a splash. A pod, no bigger than a baseball, sank slowly downward into the cool darkness below. As it descended, the pod began to unfurl--expanding, stretching, and twisting into the shape of a man. The small splash sent a tiny ripple radiating across the water. The ripple was overtaken by a wave and then pulled back into a lull. It traveled across the surface of the Gulf before coming to rest on a sandy shore. Not even a minute after the ripple fell gently against the sand, a man stepped out of the water. His black suit impeccably tailored and without a speck of water. The man paused along the shoreline. Seemingly to absorb the sound and energy of the small city, like a tourist raised from the murky depths. For a split second his silhouette blurred against the backdrop of the water, as every molecule in his body vibrated and pulsed with an unseen power. When the pulsating stopped, the man straightened his tie and strode across the beach toward the city. His footprints especially light, as the individual grains of sand rolled away from his shoes.
