Tell him what to look for, maybe?

These bookstores - they has books. A lot of people don't know that they carry books.

Any of the Pro Football Prospectus books are a good start. Of course, footballoutsiders.com

There are a series of books called (Year) Coach of the Year Clinics Football Manual or something similar that have transcripts of speeches by coaches at some annual get together thingy. I've never read them, but they look awesome.

Bill Ansparger has a few books about coaching defense.

Why limit it to a few ? The good thing about just going to the bookstore is that all football books are side by side. He can take as many off the shelf as he wants, and look at them himself like any smart adult could. The whole point was to suggest that the biggest wealth of knowledge is found at your local bookstore. I don;t have to do any hand holding beyond that, lol.
