Good article by Chuck Culpepper in today’s Washington Post.
Bemoans overuse of the word culture in football but nevertheless says “The culture within a program does seem paramount, time upon time.” Quotes several JMU players & former players, including a number of transfers from Big Ten & ACC, about how well everyone works together & helps everyone else. “...everyone wants ... everyone to do well... no resentment.” “Player upon player reports an exhilarating absence of cliques.” “They [all] understand the principles and values of the program, the standards and expectations.” “Culture, once established, has strengthened to entrenched. “ “ ...
Beyond football and toward something human, something in the range of successful human organizations. The habits ricochet across the seasons.” A large emphasis on the vital importance of senior leadership. No jealousy or resentment evident within the team. Everyone helps one another. Help begets help begets help.
