The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

I’m not familiar with the author but if I’m right, there were at least 3 football coaches with that surname.
Good for keeping the memory sharp.
There was a UK patriot with the same last name if we’re thinking along the same lines.
I dunno! Cryptograms are always on the main (index) page so I always see them first thing in the morning...
Imagine what I could achieve if I had coffee first :D
Guessed 2nd word and that led to first name of author, and then off from there.
