We know the first week back from a holiday break is always a slog, so congratulations on getting yourself to the finish line. Here’s what we saw on Twitter today.

This is a really informative story from X and O Labs about creating a player-driven culture.
Core Values+Standards= Ownership.Found teaching these 6 behaviors drive player ownership of culture. Sources include @ClemsonFB @LSUfootball @NavyFB @TarHeelFootball @GoBearcatsFB among others. Had to step out of my comfort zone on this one. https://t.co/8jYSkUlQX8 @XandOLabs

We missed this ESPN segment on College GameDay, but since it inspired us, we decided to share it with you.

Here’s some comedic relief.

Here’s another “things done changed” type of post with a look at recruiting.
Recruiting this year is unique.
1) If you have an offer, you’re blessed.
2) Collecting offers and not committing will leave you with no place to play.
3) Current College players: entering the portal w/o a place to go will also leave you with no place to play.#Recruiting

Here’s a pretty sweet post about the narcotic of game day — in the words of Bill Parcells.
"You get to the point where these jobs can eat you alive. And yet I use the word narcotic, because it's true, the narcotic of the game…. if you like action & you like competition, well Sunday at 1:00 in the NFL that's where that is." – Bill Parcells pic.twitter.com/dvfVNgZmIV

Don’t think it’s possible to make the jump from high school coordinator to college head coach? Think again.
Nice opportunity for a high school OC. He's now a DIII HC at the college level. Congrats!
